Our visit to Meheba is approaching fast and we were hoping that the road into Meheba would have been resurfaced by the time of our visit. However the road remains in a poor state of repair, and we can’t be sure that the local authorities can repair it in time for the arrival of The Book Bus. We have therefore decided to use an Expedition Vehicle to access the camp. The Expedition vehicle is a rugged Mercedes Benz truck with high ground clearance that enables us to penetrate into the camp along its rough tracks. Our Project plans will not be affected by this change and the truck will have “Book Bus” signs attached so that everyone knows who we are!
Please be aware that the truck is not equipped with a generator and there is no power in the camp so, for any battery powered gadgets you may have (mainly cameras), we suggest you pack a solar powered charger.
Some of the schools we are visiting are well off the beaten track and the final access may be by bicycle. (EEEK!)
