Will that box go on to a ship as a container?
The box is the shipping container that will travel by truck to Montreal, I believe, where it will be loaded onto a ship. Across the big pond and then received by the Bicycle Empowerment Network (BEN) in Namibia.

The container might then be trucked directly to its final destination or stored for transportation and/or sorting. Our shipments are unique and have gone directly to final destinations. Once there, the shipping container, which we purchase ourselves, is turned into a workshop, and another LCB is born. For each hundred bikes, one full time job is created.

And this is what the box (53 ft shipping container), with the sign in it, might look like before the end of the year...
