Today I sent out a somewhat random list of documents for my work permit.  I’m told that DHL is the most reliable carrier to ship to Tanzania & that they would get the docs by close of business on Monday (though I’m a bit skeptical).  I discovered that it’s also not cheap to send an express envelope to Tanzania – somewhere in the neighborhood of $96 USD.

Included in my shipment:

• 2 copies of an executed employment agreement
• 2 notarized copies of each person’s passport
• 2 copies of my CV/resume
• 2 notarized copies of my university diploma (James Madison University)
• 2 notarized copies of my graduate certification (Dallas Theological Seminary)
• 2 official transcripts from my university
• 2 official transcripts from my graduate school
• 10 passport size photos per person – yep…that’s 60 photos!

We should have a better idea of our departure date once the folks in Tanzania get this documentation and begin the work of obtaining the permit.
