Due to various constraints, the delivery of goods has proved challenging. The project is almost complete . All businesses have been paid. 3 are in the process of delivering. One item will only be delivered at the end of December, so only 50% deposit has been paid. When this item arrives, final submission can be done. Photographs of goods delivered to date have been sent to partners. All is well.

<15-Dec-11> by F.J. Schwulst
All goods have now been delivered by suppliers to storage in E.L. and are ready to be fetched by a volunteer in Tarkastad. The stove is being delivered from Port Elizabeth, hopefully early next week. All paper work will be sorted early in the new year as we have our Christams recess now.
