Hi,

as German travellers (dootrippers, Flugpaten) frequently ask for a letter, which they could present at the custom just in case, the Labdoo (Germany) worked out a letter in various languages. Thanks to Leidy (ES) and Donaly (FR) for their contribution translating the letter :)

The letters may-be only useful for travellers leaving from Germany, but may-be the concept can be used in other countries / other languages by local Labdoo associations? So other Labdoo communities / associations can prepare similar letters?

You can download the supporting letters as examples from Germany for travellers from our FTP server:
EN: http://ftp.labdoo.org/download/documents/german/Verein/en_confirmation_F...
ES: http://ftp.labdoo.org/download/documents/german/Verein/es_confirmation_F...
FR: http://ftp.labdoo.org/download/documents/german/Verein/fr_confirmation_F...

These letters are not a guarantee that there will no tax or fees to be paid. In addition Labdoo recommends to transport a small amount of laptops per traveller. In case of transporting a large amount of laptops the project / edoovillage is asked to present supporting letters as well, e.g. from the Bishop, Imam, Mayor, regional officials etc. or ask for a support by the Ministry of education.

Thanks,

This is great Ralf, thank you for sharing.

In other regions we are also using a similar letter, which can be found in our wiki under the toolkit book:

https://www.labdoo.org/content/dootrippers-travel-letter

People can freely use any of these letters to compose their own or use them as they are. @Ralf, if you think that's the right place, feel free to add the links to your letters on the above wiki page as well so others can find them too.

Hi Jordi,

yes, I know the above mentioned travel letter. The difference is - "your" travel letter has to be filled in from the receiving project for the traveller. "My" letter is different, no fill-in of data needed (laptop list as an enclosure is optional) and - most important - this letter is from Labdoo (Germany) for the traveller. I was not able to find any letter from Labdoo for travellers. The letter, you mentioned, is another option, but has to be worked out from the receiving project. Ours is a ready-to-use letter from Labdoo for the traveller :) As we have so many dootrippers leaving from Germany and many asked for a letter we worked it out. Just to let the other country chapter know...

Thanks
Ralf
