Framing it in those terms, I think it should be 10X the price
of a can of coke (or evivalent - a glass of pineapple juice
in Uganda is fine).
$USD 5 will have $4 spent on administration, so make it 10. If
you can't ilve without less that a case of coke once a year
you're not serious. This stuff all *means* something and you
must be prepared to give something.
