Thanks to you, our generous donors, all components have been procured and are awaiting shipping from the on-site warehouse at Baker Renewable Energy (BRE) in Raleigh, North Carolina. The attached pdf contains the donation letter and bill of lading, which has been provided to Belizean government authorities to obtain a Duty Exemption letter. We are hopeful that the letter will be finalized and delivered to the appropriate customs officials within the next 1-3 weeks. In any event, we plan to ship the system to Belize City and then via barge to Holy Cross Anglican School departing Raleigh no later than about February 15th. Should the Duty Exemption letter still be "in process" at that point, we will contact additional supporters within the Belizean government to ensure that the donation is properly credited as a donation by Belizean customs. Our plan is for the equipment to arrive on site at HCAS in early March --- and -- allowing for some date slippage -- to send our first team of installers around April 1st. BRE is making a substantial in-kind contribution to help with the technical expertise needed to install this Phase 2 system, and we are most deeply grateful for their commitment. I will plan to update you further once the equipment has been shipped and Duty Exemption letter obtained. With most sincere thanks to all from John and the Board of Holy Cross Education Foundation -- and the children and staff of Holy Cross Anglican School.
