Cost Analysis

PREAMBLE:
I strongly believe that this is a unique opportunity for commercial companies to invoke their ethical responsibilities and make a contribution to peace in the Indo-Pak region. Needless to add, peace brings prosperity and if my objectives are realised on this cycle ride, the dividends would accrue to all those concerned with this project. I would dearly have loved to have undertaken all costs involved myself. Alas, my financial circumstances dictate otherwise.
