The community is asking for assistance in finding solutions to provide transport (school bus, lorry, ambulance and double cabin pick-up vehicles) for the students and staff of Bukoggolwa Secondary School.

Transport takes one of the most urgent priorities as it not only facilitates access to the students, but also facilitates transporting of school supplies and other services beneficial to the smooth running of school programmes.

What is needed:

-To provide motor-cycles and spare-parts for teachers and non-teaching staff to improve on their performance and increased efficiency.

Please help search for the most efficient and affordable way of transporting the donated goods to the community.

Please help research the customs requirements for entry of donated goods into China.

Earlier this year, the digital camera that was used to visually document exciting news and progress being made at Arrow-Web Hospital was stolen when Bramuel was ambushed by a group of robbers on his way home from a conference. Since that time, he has not been able to replace it.

We have been working on research in the Masaka village on the feasibility of obtaining bicycles for students who live far from the school to improve attendance. It occurred to me after looking at several of these sites and seeing how many of these organizations provide bicycles to support health care workers, that this may be a good option right now for the community health team at the hospital.

I talked with Bramuel and he agreed, so we're posting this new task to explore whether or not we might get bicycles for the hospital to utilize until they can obtain a vehicle.

Last week one of BEHODs staff members, Mustafa, died of malaria.

This has made us aware again of the fact that many Ugandans still don't have the means to protect themselves from mosquito bites, and when they get ill don't have the money to buy medicine.

Through a US contact, Mosquito Curtains, two 40 lb boxes with nets are available to be shipped from the US to Uganda, to be divided amongst a number of NABUUR projects.

Phil Costa tried to make an arrangement with DHL, but to no avail so far. Shipment costs are estimated around $1000,-
