The man who did this trip was sponsored to do it, and the money came to us - We didn't pay anything out of the QAWS coffers to sponsor this trip.
Everything from the clothing, Qatar flag, flight, accomodations - were paid for.
Carl Roberts, who was planning on doing this trip for years, but finally found a charity to help - gave all the money he was intending on spending on the trip to QAWS after everything else had been sponsored. Other people then sponsored amounts towards the climb which came to QAWS also.
This was not only a fundraising event, but also an awareness event, which sometimes is more worthwhile than the funds we raise.
And yes, the people you mentioned also helped with clothing and phones.
