Brief Progress Report

I'm in the process of sorting the books and looking into different shipping arrangements. I've also contacted Kajeli about the novels they use in Forms 1 through 4. The novels they read and use for exams in English. He's going to find out if they are available in Moshi or Arusha and determine their cost. I think it would be a good idea to obtain a class set of the actual novels they study from and expand it from there. I'll let you know more about the funding in the next few days when I receive a response.
I am planning, once I get a solid price and time frame for shipping, on returning to Moshi around Christmas or at the beginning of January for the start of classes. I'd like to be there when the books arrive, but that'll take some co-ordinating. I'm still working on that.

Hey, cool you did it! I have had a new money raising idea. I am going to raffle off all the jewelry, batiks, kangas, etc. that I bought in Tanzania and Rwanda. Hopefully, I'll earn enough money to buy and send a class set of something. Thanks for researching all that stuff. I have asked the post office here to give me some advice on sending things cheaply, so we'll see what they come up with. More later.
