Roles

Right, we have had meetings..... we have given ourselves time to think and we have ended up with a route that will be awesome. Now all we need is the final details worked out and a few final confirmations and next thing we know we will be ready to go - I mean Gary is married so anything is possible!

So.... it seems better to split up organization into countries and not roles... so here goes:

Al - Zambia, vibe and sponsorships, Logistics, Lead vehicle
Dallas - Medical Kit, Languages, Games, Mozambique
Ang and Hennie
- Namibia, car paper requirements and letters of invitation, Towed vehicle
Gary and Nats - Tanzania from border to Dar
Justin and John - Sponsors
Richard - GPS's, SA, Distances

What needs to be covered in each country is - Language, Fuel and logistics, Food, Suggested accommodation, Health orgs, route, distance, budget

Then we have other portfolios that will be all encompassing:
Debs - 1st Aid
Suza - Entertainment
Nats - Food
Gary - Mechanics
Hennie - Customs
Al - sponsors


Awesome!!!!!!!!!
