Thanks Bramuel-I knew you'd correct me if I was wrong :) So the ideal situation would be 5 bicycles, one for each member of the outreach team.

If you follow the link that I previously posted to the Masaka village, there is a list of several different resources that focus on providing bicycles to developing countries. I would like to get 1-2 volunteers to go through the list and make contact with these organizations via email, or if proposal requirements are listed on the organization's website, to begin working up a draft proposal. Some of these organizations specifically target health care projects, so this would be perfect.
Bicycles for the Community Health Team
Step:
1
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.

I came across this today...they are an organization based here in the United States in Chicago, but it looks like they work to raise the shipping costs for the projects they support from the information on their website. That's such a huge need, I think it's fantastic that they work on that aspect too!
RESEARCH-transportation options for getting students to school
Step:
1
As a long-term goal, Notre Dame High School would like to one day purchase a mini-bus. This would be used to transport children to school and also to workshops/seminars. At the present time, there are not finances available to do this.
For this task we would like to research alternative transportation solutions. Some of the children come to school from very far away. Some live nearby as well, but others have to walk between 2-5 miles to/from the school location. One of the options that has been mentioned in previous discussion is use of bicycles.
Project: Help Improve Notre Dame High School
Happy New Year to everyone!
Bramuel and I spoke briefly this morning and I wanted to update everyone on a few things:
1. NHIF
Arrow-Web Hospital just completed it's 3rd month under NHIF accreditation. Bramuel is working on the report now regarding showing the reimbursement level for December 2008. He will get me that information as soon as it's compiled.
2. African Diaspora Medical Project
We have still heard nothing back regarding the proposal that was submitted.
3. Kitchen Table Proposal
