News from Manno today about the relief shipments:

The first container is now at Pillatre and we had to unload everything for customs's inspection.
Now most of the pallets are inside the clinic and a very small part inside the container.

I talked to the owner of Haiti shipping lines on the phone and he agrees that we bought the container. They are going to bring us another one and take the one we have now.

The second container with just rice, beans and cooking oil may be released tomorrow or Tuesday. I will let you know what to do, how much they charge us for duty and everything else.
