The Fleet

Imagine riding in a vehicle that you can see the road under your feet. The cars we had on our base were just a bucket of bolts. Rotted floorboards were the least of their troubles. They all broke down regularly and were on life support more than on the road. Riding down jungle roads in marginal vehicles was always a security concern. We just did not have the money to buy new transportation. We put our limited funds into medicines or building needed facilities.

We now have three new vehicles because of the kind donations of several people. These are wonderful because they are safe and reliable. The donors all experienced our old cars. We can breath a sigh of relief now that we have new wheels.

If any of you come on a future team you will get to ride in one of them.
