Uganda Truck... Check!

I can check another item off my list... receiving the Uganda truck. It arrived Sunday afternoon around 4:00pm. We had asked some of the construction crew to come help unload, but they were no were to be found. So all of us (ex-pat staff and missionaries) pitched in and started unloading. First item... 200 bags of cement weighing about 110 pounds each. We took turns in the truck lifting the bags down to the others using wheelbarrows to take them to to storage room. All of us were covered in cement and sweat. After we were more than halfway through, Albino arrived with reinforcements. We had an additional 10 pairs of hands to help out. Around 7:00 we finished unloading the truck except for the brick machine. That came off today. I was really proud of the way everyone pitched in to get it done.
