Big Day! Today I met with Mr. Dei Sylvester from Grenada about the protocol, financial administration, and ultimate collection of goods pertaining to the donation to Grenadian Volleyball. I had telephone meetings with a sales rep from Adidas and have detailed all equipment needs. This was followed by another telephone meeting with the donor himself, to discuss particulars. Things are progressing very well, but it is difficult because I am unfamiliar with the customs here and now we must get the government involved, to try and avoid delays at customs and to avoid excessive import taxes. I have a meeting Friday morning with Permanent Secretary Victor-Bruno to discuss proper administration and disbursement of this gift and to determine the government's involvement. This is an important week to get all the administration done as suddenly my trip seems to coming to a close. I still have 2 1/2 weeks here, however, there is much yet to do and I need to get all equipment associated with this donation, ordered from the suppliers, before I leave.
Last night we had Men's National Team training. We worked on team transition and team defense and also 3 person serve receive and sideout offense. We played Bingo Bango Bongo for 40 minutes and the team was very competitive, impressive in their play, and seemed to really enjoy it.
That is all for today. Thursday will be another busy day with morning meetings, and then secondary training in the afternoon, followed by evening Women's national team training.
Respect and love.
