Maureen Powell, of the American International School in Maseru, and her husband have agreed to carry eight of our XO laptops over to Maseru in their carry-on luggage when they fly to Lesotho in early August. We'll have to pay for the domestic postage to Atlanta, but it will save us a bundle on the international shipping. Thanks Maureen!!!
I'll get the laptops charged up today and put them in the mail the next time I go to town, hopefully tomorrow.
And if you know of anyone else flying to Lesotho who might be willing to carry a laptop or two, please ask them to get in touch with me.

I've gotten delayed getting these out. Being so far from town does sometimes have its drawbacks.
ReplyDeleteThe 8 laptops have been reflashed, cleaned, and photographed. Now I just need to finish engraving them with ID codes, and they'll be ready to go.

The 8 XOs went in the mail Saturday, 24 July.
ReplyDeleteThe cost of domestic shipping was $30 for about 30 pounds, not including insurance and delivery confirmation. To send them all the way to Lesotho would have cost about $125, a savings of nearly $100. THANK YOU, Maureen!
