Latin
American Challenge |
|
Sponsors
|
The
expedition was sponsored by individuals and companies who provided equipment
or services. No financial sponsorship was sought as the expedition
was entirely self financed.
|
| |
|
|
|
Direct
Connection
continues to provide Internet and Email access. Their contribution
to this project cannot be quantified: not only have they provided a
medium through which Latin American Challenge can promote the expedition
and supported charities, they also provided an invaluable
communications channel that allowed the team to stay in contact with
family, friends and supporters during the expedition to Latin America.
