Thanks to Sunny Akuopha we have submitted another funding request for the aid grant provisioning within the Rotary International.

As we all know fundraising is particularly hard for charities in the UK given the current econimic climate. If we are sucessful, this grant is to enable us to get the two ambulances completed and shipped over to Mali but also to enable us to continue our  work ongoing in the area including the schedulling of the next set of vehicles. The grant is on a 50/50 split where they will match whatever we raise and will take a minimum of 6 months to be reviewed and processed.

So please keep supporting us using easyfundraising.org.uk for your online shopping and the various fun sponsorship activities that we have planned.

The winter is going to be a busy time for us. So whilst your sitting down to turkey and stuffing heres what we will be doing:

Workshop Refit

The workshop will be getting a new insulated roof and new lighting and electrical provisioning throughout to enable us to work throughout the cold spell.

Landrover 1 - Sunflower

Sunflower is almost complete however after a rigourous test drive * yes we do test our kit is suitable and robust enough before shipping :) * we have decided that it needs some additonal work to the rear suspension and some additonal electrical ancilaries installed to make operation and use comfortable in the harsh Mali terrain. The testing included 4wd in low and high range and suitable offroad terrain.

Landrover 2 - To Be Named

Landy 2 has had its chassis fully stripped and strengthened. Its engine has been fully reconditioned as has its gearbox. With new suspension and cooling added to the mix we are planning the rebuild over the winter months in time for a spring roadtest.

Check out the Landrover Progress Report and Gallery

As at 9th Nov 2010 you have all helped us to raise a stonking £11,000. From all of us here at Bamako a big thanks we are sure that the communities in Bamako will appreciate the hard work and dedication which has been put in so far.

We "just" need another 15k to hit the target and be able to pay for the shipping and outfitting of the container for its destination.

So come on jump in get fundraising NOW!
