November 21: Arrival in Mbokop

The team arrived in Mbokop late Wednesday night around 10:30pm WAT (EST+6, UTC+1). Cell phone service is very spotty around the house where they are staying, but they are able to get service in certain locations so we’ll continue with the daily updates. The team reports that the house where they’re staying is very nice and the weather is beautiful.

We got a check-in from them Thursday morning around 8am WAT. So far today the team has already had a meeting with the village sub-chief and the entire community. We’ll post additional updates here as we receive them!
