• Approximately US 1100 for Aceh and 1400 for
  Sri Lanka, per person. MERCY Malaysia is willing
  to help reduce this cost. For e.g. for the
  present we are getting free flight tickets
  courtesy of MAS to Aceh and Sri Lanka. That will
  save us a lot of money in the long run. But we
  dont know how long it will last.
• We would need at least 2 persons per fortnight,
  for 6 months or until local people can take over
  the services.
