From the pictures I made during the discharge of one of the ships with a USAID shipment here in the Dar es Salaam port, I compiled a short video which gives an impression of what we do here.

It can be found on Youtube, under the following URL:

Hi Robbert, impressive picture of you sitting on the giantic pile of corn meal. Next week myself and 8 Benelux TNT''ers are heading of a fieldtrip visiting the TNT/WFP projects in Malawi. Great to know WFP is putting so much effort in making sure all food aid gets to the beneficiaries that can't do without it. Best of luck and make sure to keep us posted about your activities :)
Best regards,
Lars
