Team arrives in Central Africa [Guest post by Tim Harley]

Hey everyone, wanted to send a note to let you know we are here in Bangui, Central African Republic(CAR).  We arrived around 3pm local time which is 5 hours ahead of Ohio time.  We had around 24 hrs of flying time which took us from Cleveland to Washington DC to Addis Abbaba Ethiopia to Duala, Cameroon, to Bangui, C.A.R.  If you look at a globe you will realize we covered a lot of miles.

We are all tired but glad to be here, we are looking forward to getting started tomorrow morning on our main project which is called PK-22.  PK-22 is the kilometers from the center of Bangui.  By tomorrow, I will try to send pictures to post and offer more details regarding the projects and the people we will be working with.

Thank you for all of your prayers, all of our connections went well and all of our luggage arrived including a bicycle provided by Rick and prepared for shipping by Bill Buckwalter, Ride On in Wooster, OH. 

God Bless,

Tim
