Thanks Tony. Another option is to buy a $19.99 128MB 100 MByte/sec microSD @ https://amazon.com/dp/B06XWZWYVP
Or a $39.99 256GB 100 MByte/sec microSD @ https://amazon.com/dp/B072HRDM55 The 400GB, 512GB and 1GB cards are completely excessive & irrelevant for impoverished nations especially — unless you happen to be a rich photographer/videographer of course, and want to donate your time to an important cause in which case do let us know...we will happily put your skills (and dollars) to work for a more purposeful cause.
