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 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.
