As noted in our last project report dated about the 15th of July 2013, we were in need of approximately $4K in additional funds to fully complete our Phase 2 fund-raising. I am thrilled to report that those funds have now been raised through our generous supporters here at GG. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts, as do the children and staff of Holy Cross Anglican school. Any further funds raised at this time will go towards unforeseen expenses that might arise during the shipping and installation stages of the project. With respect to schedule, we have met with our partners at Baker Renewable Energy (BRE). They are prepared to ship the system with just a couple of weeks notice once our Board determines shipping specifics. BRE is preparing a complete bill of lading to accompany the shipping. Since this system is a donation to Belizean schools, the full list of parts and supplies will also be provided to the appropriate officials in Belizean customs in order to waive import fees. Tentatively, we are planning on shipping around the first of the year, with a final system installation and site-acceptance test to be performed around the first of April. Since we haven't made any additional site visits at this time, I don't have any new pictures to add, but will next time! Thanks to one and all for helping us complete our fund-raising for our second 5KW solar array to be installed in the spring of 2014!
