I’m happy to report that Daniel Kwaku Ganyoame has been keeping us updated with progress and has been sending photos!

We were quite disappointed that the shipping issues caused us to be unable to be around to help on the ground with these deployments, so it’s really exciting to get these pictures and see things progressing well.
