Kris, we have made it safe to the orphanage. Getting internet has been an issue on the trip. Internet is available in Douala; however, being able to access it has been difficult. We did a market assessment yesterday and the availability of supplies is looking very promising. We will be starting our projects in the morning. Mercy and the entire orphanage send their best wishes and Pocito says hi. I am not sure how much it is to send and receive texts (please don't send me a text response) but right now it is our only form of communication outside of the country. We do have cell phones but the place we purchased them from didn't give us any minutes even after multiple times of us saying we need minutes for the phones. We should have cell phone minutes purchased tomorrow. Just wanted to touch bases with you and everyone. Tell the club members we said hi and the orphanage is very grateful for all our efforts in helping them. Thanks Kris.
