OLPC Guinea Budget for the Announcement, Intro and Data-Retrieval Phase

So we decided we want to make a quotation, holding a budget for

1. that first part in the drawing above, the "Announcement, Intro and Data Retrieval Phase"
2. secondly a thumbrule budget for a downpayment for the deployment of 5000 XO's as a preparation for a full scale deployment. The number 5000 was chosen because from that number, OLPC really starts taking the government serious and labels the project not as a mere "Deployment" but as a "Pilot Project", as mentioned on the deployment -pages and -maps.
