(update, Thursday. 1.21.10 - 5.20 p.m.)
THE TEAM IS AT THE SCHOOL.
I just got off the SatPhone with Luc, Jean-Elie, and Dave. Damage to the School building is extensive. Dave doesn't know how much is salvageable. I asked him to get the generator, inverter and batteries off the second floor and try to get the water purification systems back in operation.
The Team will probably stay at the guest house around the corner. That building is standing and in good shape. Dr. Reed expects the clinic to be up and operating tomorrow morning. It may or may not be in the school courtyard.
Our arrival is a huge relief to Mona and the others. Our Team brought water, fuel, food, medical supplies, friends, family, and most of all the compassion and love of hundreds of people who made this mission possible. YOU ALL MADE THIS HAPPEN!

Evidently the Team needs to transfer into transport that can get all of the people and equipment to Carrefour. The big bus is too BIG.
Ann Giuli (nurse) texted her husband, Tom Ginter, with the following.
