Communication with BAP Project Manager Part 1

I should have written this a while ago to tell you about whats happening with BAP now that we left Uganda. Ideally i am supposed to call our Project Manager (PM) regularly to get updates about how everything is progressing but due to the time difference does not make it as simple as it sounds and should be.

During my first call with PM, he informed me that over 300 people turned up at the office to get applications for the bicycles but he unfortunately had only 42 applications that we had left with him. It should be not problem given that i am returning to Uganda during winter break.
He also informed me that one of the official in lulyango (one of the villages) is not being as cooperative as we had hoped. The PM promised to talk to this official so that everything moves smoothly. Fortunately the second local council (LC) official of this area has been wonderful.

Out PM was also having trouble with his gmail email account but i helped him resolve the issue and he is ready to become internet savvy.
Apparently there is an incident where both a husband and a wife have BAP bicycles- something we tried really hard to avoid. So i guess we will have to ask everyone's family details for the application.

That is all i got from our PM, Alex Oryema, i will be back soon with more details from my second call with him. Please stay tuned, dont touch that dial Muyambi is on the mic.

BAP LOVE
