Problems/concerns:

In this project we had a big issue with delays, with lots of stress, frustration and inability of being able to do something ourselves, and all during 8 months after transfer of the funds by Vleugels van Hoop.

In this very remote province in which the only American having the needed equipment became in and was in the States having a severe treatment, we could not avoid the delays. We hope still, within you means, that you will on supporting us.
