The rain has let up and the river at at Danugawo is fordable at last. The first 2 trucks in our convoy of 20 departed Gunung Sitoli yesterday afternoon and are being unloaded in Gomo. Marion is still in Gunung Sitoli to make sure the rest of the trucks leave today. A distribution that would normally take us 3 days by ship has dragged on for 5 weeks! We will prepare a cost comparison based on IOM trucks & boats that have been used for this delivery and Batavia. Trucks are rented by the day and if they sit in Sibolga the UN still pays. Boats that turn back because of the weather still charge a day-rate for trying. The family boxes departed IOM's Medan wharehouse on the 8th of June and they have been in trucks or on boats every since!
