|||
Flight:<br /> |
|||
There are numerous options for our route:<br /> |
|||
New York City – Kigali (orientation) – Accra – New York City<br /> |
|||
The cheapest fare seems to be:<br /> |
|||
Return flight to Kigali (current cheapest price, through London or Brussels, with Kenya Airways or Brussels<br /> Airlines) - $1921 per person<br /> |
|||
Return flight between Kigali and Accra (cheapest current price flying Kenya Airways) - $1201<br /> |
|||
Accommodation:<br /> |
|||
There are motels offered online for about $200 a week per room. But our local NGO partner offered assistance. This price will be cut. We are estimating maximum $100 a week for the team. |
|||
Storing the laptops:<br /> |
|||
Our local NGO partner provides storage for the laptops. There will be no cost associated for this safe storage. |
|||
Food:<br /> |
|||
Typically food is very cheap in Ghana, I estimate a nominal $5 per day for the team. |
|||
Transportation in Ghana:<br /> |
|||
The main coach company is STC which serves major cities and many long distance domestic locations. The fare is cheap. In the cities there are taxis and “Tro-Tro”s (any sort of vehicle designated for use of public transportation) available. They are inexpensive. I estimate $50 per person for transportation inside Ghana. |
|||
The cost estimate for the team for the duration of deployment:<br /> |
|||
$6244 (flight for two)<br /> |
|||
$900 (accommodation for two)<br /> |
|||
$315 (food expense)<br /> |
|||
$100 (domestic transportation)<br /> |
|||
$7559 Estimated total<br /> |
|||
Sponsors:<br /> |
|||
There are possible sponsors, we are currently looking. The team members are also willing to commit their own resources within their ability in case of unexpected spike in certain expenses. |
