Since teams are constantly coming to help reconstruct the campus of ABC University, a lot of supplies and tools need to be here before they arrive to insure that their project can be completed. They do this by packing containers and shipping them months in advance, with everything that is needed for their job. So the container arrives in the port in Monrovia, and begins the long journey up to Yekepa. Once it is on campus, it is unloaded and the belongings are stored away until the team arrives. With all the containers coming, and no cranes available, I always wondered how they got the containers off of the trailers... well now I know. No cranes needed, just hook up a log chain and away we go!

Brandy wants to know...ok, now they're unloaded, how do they get them loaded again for return?!?

they don't- the containers belong to whoever shipped them, so when they are unloaded, they are used for storage on campus. Right now we have seven of them lined up for storage- made into makeshift tool sheds for the workers
