Cost of Lebanon Trip

And so it is confirmed. The trip to Lebanon is on!

The tentative dates are 7-11 June 2010.

Here's the breakdown of the cost given by World Vision:-

Airfare RM 3700 - 4000
Meals RM 420
Room RM 680
Local Transport RM 300
Travel Insurance RM 53
Gift for children RM 50
Contingency RM 241
Staff Cost RM 550 - 580
TOTAL RM 6000 - 6500

So far, with the funds that I've raised I am able to cover all the expenses, except the airfare. That cost a bomb! I wonder if any kind souls out there could help sponsor?

Oh yea, and the staff cost? Its kinda sucky that the child sponsors would have to pay for the staff too. Worst is, somebody who is needing sponsor, having to pay for their staff to go on the trip.

Smart moves on their part, but not very nice feelings on the child sponsors.

PS:- I have been sponsoring a child from Lebanon the past 5 years. This year is the first time World Vision Malaysia is organizing a trip there. And yes, this trip means a lot to me. You would understand it, if you sponsor a child from Lebanon too.
