team reports.
'On April 3, 2026 we had a meeting in Auckland, New Zealand with our Toke-
lauan sponsor, additional project details were discussed. We will be on the
atoll the last 2 weeks of November, 2026. The exact dates will be announced
after the Tokelau Transport Office finalizes their November boat schedule.
The operating location has been selected, and living accommodations for the
team were discussed. Also discussed were the details of a humanitarian pro-
ject we're planning for the local school.
There are formal governmental meetings planned for November. We elected to
be there after these meetings conclude. The meetings are part of an ongoing
recognition of 100 Years of the Tokelau/New Zealand relationship.
Team members will be in Northern California in May to conduct an equipment
inventory and assess our requirements. We will return to California in July
for equipment consolidation, testing and packaging. Subsequently, we will
relocate our equipment storage to a location in Deming, New Mexico.
While the team is funding this project without a major fundraising cam-
paign, we appreciate donations to offset the equipment shipping expenses and
the humanitarian project. Additional details will be announced as they de-
velop'. Bookmark https://tok-dx.com/ for more information. [TNX K5GS]
