African Project
Expense Report
You have been awarded a grant of up to $10,000 to implement your solution in an African country where your animal lives. Use the following expense report to budget for your trip. Remember to estimate – get a general idea of cost for each thing…specifics are not necessary. Also, be sure to include something about this report in your presentation. You will have a math expert sign off on your work. You will list and sum your expenses on an excel sheet this will include: the cost of travel, lodging, meals, Project Supplies(solution), and any additional cost for labor (people you hired to help with the project).
