Hello Christine, Sorry that you are getting this information at this time. Although I could not proceed with the coordination of the preparations, other members volunteered to go ahead with the mobilisation and the date that was earlier agreed actually remained unchanged. I am sure there was a mix up of communication with alot happening within a short time. Otherwise, there was a call for an evaluation in which some of these gaps can be ironed for the subsequent plans.
