Sponsorship Amount

24 May 2011

After a bit of research and a lot of guesstimate work we have come up with a preliminary budget to cover expenses for the rickshaw run autumn 2011 edition.

(drum rollllll) $9000!!! Wow! who's going to sponsor that much?

The items included:

- vaccinations (cuz i don't want to end up with malaria and an amazing diarrhea)

- flights - from bahrain to delhi to meghalaya. then from rajasthan somewhere to bahrain

- travel insurance (and probably life)

- accommodation for the 3 weeks (inclusive of before & after race)

- petrol (heard it wasn't that cheap) and really 8L capacity for the rickshaw?! might need to carry extra gallons with us

- visa for india

- tech stuff: sim cards, internet usb for updating on progress, cam corder, GPS system

- the rickshaw deposit of 1000 GBP

- food (we put an allowance of around $2 per day)

- rickshaw maintenance

didn't add stuff like first aid kit, flashlights and bungee cords (might use them to pull rickshaw out of ditches and what not)...

Meeting my fellow idiot Mr. T over shisha to figure out how we can sell this to a possible corporate sponsor.

will update once we know a bit more.
