After several
weeks of figuring out reliable transportation and proper equipment for
unloading, the containers have finally arrived to our kitchen site in Tijuana.
While it took a bit longer than we expected, it was well worth the wait. Since
several of our initial shipping options fell through, we approached some Mexican
shipping companies expecting to pay upwards of $3,000 for shipping, import
duties, and crane rental fees. In the end however, God gave us favor and we
ended up having all the transportation, equipment and labor donated to us by
some generous businesses in Mexico.
On the day of
delivery there were lots of folks on hand to watch the massive crane offload and
maneuver the containers onto the foundation. Now that the containers are here,
the word is out that Outside the Bowl is committed to building a kitchen in
Tijuana, and everyone, from community members to the local government, is
excited to see the kitchen in action.
There is still a
lot to do to get the kitchen running. Yet, as of right now, we still need more
hands to do it. Please contact us to see how you can help. |
