if you mean villa as in a personal mosquito net, yes :)<br><br>daily meals range from 1 dollar for local digs to 10 dollars for expat restaurants, the intercon hotel's meals range from 15-25 dollars. Lusaka's prices are probably on par with some parts of boston in terms of travel expenses. cab fares to get around, we incurred on a daily basis across town (about a 7 minute drive) ranged from 8-12 dollars a day round trip. though riding the bus is an adventure one should try for about a dollar. <br>

Hi Daniel,<br><br>I was just trying to get Jhonatan and estimate of the cost of this trip. That's great that CIDRZ will cover the accommodation (I'm OK with any level of housing - shared with other interns or workers is fine), so we just need to work out what sort of transport and food costs
there are.<br>Do you have an estimate for any of these?<br><br>many thanks,<br><br>Gari<br><br><br> <div class="gmail_quote">2008/5/13 Daniel Myung <<a href="mailto:dmyung@dimagi.com" target="_blank">dmyung@dimagi.com</a>>: <div>
<span><br> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Andres, Gari,<br><br>to clarify, I think the plan is for cidrz to foot the big parts of the bill, airfare, and housing accomodations. the housing big might be along the lines of shared accomodations with other interns or workers in the area. <br>
<br>I haven't talked to parham at length yet on what other level of funding they are able to afford on this. Zambia is actually very expensive for the per diem cost for a traveler, so securing funding is certainly key. I'll get the conversation going w/ him to
see what the exact agreements are going to be. if MIT can help offset some of it, that'd be great for CIDRZ, but like you said Gari, the sticker shock from expected value might make even that tricky. Necessary, but tricky.<br>
