3 Sub-Committees Update
SK
Myanmar Air International (MAI) will give us $100 discount, so we only have to pay $250 for airtickets. Excess baggage allowance of 60-80 kg per person. They will also help in airport clearance. For our part, we will have to help them in corporate social responsibility and publicity. Projectsmile will be featured in their flight magazine and we will have to raise awareness of MAI to Singaporeans. SK will need to confirm tickets and the main team will depart from singapore one day earlier (6th dec) to buy misc stuffs. The rest (tentatively June, YY, Serene) will join them on the 7th dec. NB: For those who wants to stay in Myanmar longer, they will need to confirm with SK whether to apply for the 1 month ticket.
