[Hidden-tech] Anyone traveling to Zambia?

[Will Loving]

I'm posting a general request her for anyone who might be traveling to
Lusaka, Zambia. I've been working with an NGO there for some time and we are
looking for someone who might be willing to take an extra bag piece of
luggage containing laptops with them as an additional piece of luggage.

The bag/box would weigh no more than 80# and we would pay the "extra
baggage" fee, which is usually around $80, as well as provide detailed
documentation of the contents (used laptops and peripherals). We could
arrange for you to be met at the airport so you wouldn't have to take it any
farther than that.

The cost of shipping this same box via FedEx is around $900 which seems like
such a waste even though we have a donor who is willing to pay it. I'd like
to see that kind of money put to better use if we can.

This is a standing need, so if you find yourself headed to southern Africa a
year from now we will likely still have things to send, please check in with
me. There is also, by the way, an established program to send 80# luggage
bags of medical supplies to the Zambian Flying Doctors, a group that uses
small planes to get to remote villages, so if you want to carry more than
one extra bag you can do that as well.

Thanks,

Will
