Financial[edit]
| Items | Details | Intended Cost | Actual Cost | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Camera with lenses (new) | Canon EOS 250D + 18-55 mm kit lens + 50 mm prime lens + 75-300 mm zoom | 64K BDT (600USD) | 84.8K BDT (785USD apprx) | We initially planned to buy a second-hand camera, but after visiting the second-hand market, we decided to buy a new one since there is no guarantee of product quality, and at the same time, the price is too high compared to its authenticity. We planned to buy a new camera within 80K BDT, including accessories, but that amount reached 92.6K, including accessories. Our total grant amount was 100K BDT, so the sudden rise in hardware costs made our work challenging. |
| Camera accessories | Memory card + Bag pack + Spare battery + Lens Hoods and UV Filters + Tripod + Light + Wiring + Tape | 7.5K BDT (70USD) | 7810 BDT (73USD apprx) | |
| Photo walks | Food + Transportation | 21K BDT (200 USD) for 7 photo walks | 5105 BDT (50 USD apprx) for 7 (+11) photo walks | We arranged 7 photo walks using wikicred funds and we arranged a total of 18 photo walks; since we had very little left after purchasing hardwares, we had to request our guardians to lend us the amount for the rest of the photo walks |
| Korikath.org domain | Domain name only | 3200 BDT (30 USD) | 1530 BDT (15 USD apprx) | We planned to use 30 usd for domain + a full-functioning website. Since our hardware expenses went far beyond our expectations, we had to shrink costs. |
| Grant amount received | 101885 BDT (1000 USD) |
| Total expenses till now | 99200 BDT (928 USD) |
| Amount left | 2685 BDT (24.30 USD) |
