There is no easy way to price an event such as this. We have no external funding sources for this event. We are seeking to subsidise those from the majority world. At the same time we realise that many people who may wish to attend, choose to live simply or are from the minority world but live the majority world and some countries have 'dual' economies with some living in majority world circumstances and some minority. We basically trust you! Please contact us if you have any questions.You can find the link to the World Factbook which list per person purchasing power at https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/rankorder/2004rank.html
