The community is asking for assistance in finding solutions to provide transport (school bus, lorry, ambulance and double cabin pick-up vehicles) for the students and staff of Bukoggolwa Secondary School.

Transport takes one of the most urgent priorities as it not only facilitates access to the students, but also facilitates transporting of school supplies and other services beneficial to the smooth running of school programmes.

What is needed:

-To provide motor-cycles and spare-parts for teachers and non-teaching staff to improve on their performance and increased efficiency.

Please help research the customs requirements for entry of donated goods into China.

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.

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.

We would like to wish you all a very warm welcome to the Masaka Village! If you have just joined us, please take the time to introduce yourself here. Tell us a little bit about youself. If you have a specific skill set or specific interest in this project or a task noted above, please don't forget to tell us. We are very grateful that you have chosen to volunteer your time to help our village.
