Re: Advice needed - tuk-tuk idea
I know a couple here that sponsor a girl's education. It's a wonderful thing that will affect her life forever. It's a long term commitment, but it's better than sponsoring some lazy, card playing, rice wine drinking tuk tuk driver.

Re: Advice needed - tuk-tuk idea
You will only create actual jobs if there's a demand for the tuk tuk. If there actually is a demand for a local tuk tuk, some smart ass villager would probably have set up the service already. Did this cross your mind?Wadells wrote: ↑Wed Feb 28, 2018 7:27 pm Thanks again for the input. The IT guy from work is coming with me so I should be able to manage all that - we should be able to come up with a standard image/ profile for each PC. Thanks for the tips. He's coming partly to provide a higher level of technical knowledge, but also to add 4x sets of baggage allowance. We're both taking our families so that we can take the stuff with us on the plane. When I've been before with clothes/ books etc., I've just told the customs guy the truth when walking through customs. Any reason not to say they're computers? Stick to books and clothes for the orphanage, or ok to tell the truth?
The tuk-tuk idea is evolving. Plan now is to give it to the guy at the school (that we trust and have been working with for 6 years) and he rents it out for a flat fee for days and evenings. That way we retain control of the tuk-tuk and hopefully recoup the funds quicker to move to #2, thus providing (hopefully) 2 jobs per tuk-tuk in the community. Details to work out but hopefully that makes more sense than the original format. He will open a separate bank account for the rental fees collected. Again, all input welcome as these ideas evolve.
