Good News

We are told that the clearing agent in Mozambique is getting “back on track” with this project, and we should be hearing from him within a few days! On August 6th we meet with Jamis, the bicycle company which donated 20 bicycles to this project, and we would love to be able to give them a positive up-date on the project. We also decide to apply for Iris’ mission school in Pemba which we can attend while waiting for the arrival of the bikes.

Doubt Slips In

Now that we are in the peak of Glacier Cyclery’s busy season we are asked each day how our bikes to Africa project is going, or if we are taking anymore bikes to Africa. When I tell them that we are still waiting for the first shipment to be approved, I begin to doubt whether it will ever happen.
