As it turns out this number of boxes at King Faisal Hospital does not translate into the number of boxes that left Spokane, oops. So while we were ecstatic that our shipment cleared Kigali Customs, we did not realize only two thirds of the shipment had arrived. (The weight of the Supplies that left Spokane did not equal the weight of supplies that arrived in Kigali.) We believe one third of our shipment is still in London somewheres. We are like hound dogs on a fox hunt trying to locate them.
Katie Bland, Jane VanTassel, Jim Dixon and Jennifer Day helping to unpack the Supplies that actually arrived.
Our second, mostly surgical, team arrived tonight. Finally able to relax and have a bite to eat at the Top Tower Hotel before going to King Faisal tommorrow to assess the situation.
Wish us luck as we try and locate the rest of our supplies and deal with our ever-changing surgical schedule. We are hopeful we will still be able to commence surgery on Monday, since we are all eager to start changing young adults' lives.
