rufus the wonderdog Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Sam, how much would a volunteer need money-wise to go over in September? How much Sam - give us a ball park figure - doesn't have to be precise Sam and Mark - you are truly :angel: in this world of ours. I understand that you want to see this one house finished to assess how things go but I guess most all of us feel so in awe of all the things you both do and we want to help, in whatever way we can. Is it better to organise a delivery from this country of items or is it better to donate funds and buy items locally in Sri Lanka? Any info would be very welcome. Huge for you both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yantan Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Vena updateOn our walk tonight for the first time she walked the whole of the walk with Mark on the lead, and didn't flinch or refuse to walk, she did look around a bit for me. but she was very very brave and happy.

Happylittlegreensquirrel Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Sam, how much would a volunteer need money-wise to go over in September? the major expense is airfare which is between 450 & 600 pounds depending on routing and how many times you change and how much luggage you want to take . cheaper fares have 20 kg which is more than enough for normal people ( I tend to have to pay slightly more as I am carrying such a large amount of equipment ) Terri Incapuppy has been looking at various deals including package holidays MEF are offering us a fantastic deal at approx £ 75 per week per volunteer which includes accommodation ( Kay its basic but its okay ) 3 meals a day whilst at MEF and airport pick up and drop off. They are also offering our volunteers the chance to work with the elephants for a daily donation of £ 5 accommodation off site for trips to mobile clinics would be no more than £ 10 a night ( and less if people wanted to share ) and food would be a few pounds a day , travel costs go up and down depending on fuel but we do have full use of MEFs jeep and driver so again its fairly cheap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helly Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 ive had a hell of a busy day today and am still trying to read back and catch up. ive had all my hair cut off, have been to various wholesalers, been to the garden centre and bought plants and even managed to plant them. Mowed the garden but left a big pile of nettles for the butterflys. ive packed for my trip to budapest tomorrow, charged up the mp3 and the DS so me and sam can play dyslexic scrabble on the plane, showered, shaved me legs and pits and have cooked beans on toast for dinner. im now shattered (but im glad to report i have no foof problems or any other problems for that matter ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
