Narrowing Down Our Budget

We emailed Katarina and Jacques with some questions about our budget today. Here it is, for all of our loyal followers to enjoy!


Hello Katarina and Jacques,

I believe that our group member Rachel already emailed you about our philanthropy group's budget, but she was home sick today, so I just wanted to check in with you. We were hoping to donate at least part of our money to the Lick-Drew Senegal trip. We have a couple questions for you guys...

1. Have you ever considered buying long-lasting, insecticidal (sprayed with an insecticide) nets, which last 4 to 5 years, for the villagers in Keur Se Daro?

2. Do you know how much these nets would cost?

3. How many nets would we buy (ideally)?

4. What is the system for distribution of nets (i.e. who gets priority for nets)?

5. Are insecticidal nets available for purchase at the place you usually buy the nets in Senegal? (If not, two of our group members have found an organization that sells insecticidal nets in groups of 50.)

If you could get back to me as soon as you get the chance, it would be much appreciated!

Thanks again,
Anya, Michaela and Ian
