So I must say that this is lucky for us. I have not heard back from Kaps yet regarding the costing or the areas of emphasis that he would want to put into the proposal. They are of course in the beginning of their school year there and I'm sure he is quite busy - not to mention with sporadic internet access.
The deadline has now been extended to October 31st. This is actually fabulous for us as for two reasons. One I will be able to go to Makeni, see the specific site where the project will be, and go through a proper planning/proposal process. It also fits well into my initial itinerary. I can spend a couple days in Freetown, then walk to Makeni. This should put me there around the 25th. We'll have a few days to work on the project and then get it submitted properly. The second thing is that the two days before I leave there is a conference in NYC put on by Architecture for Humanity (the co-sponsor of gamechangers) that I will be attending. Therefore, I will be able to do some networking with decision makers as well as benchmarking with others in the field. It can only make the project's planning, proposal, and chances of success that much better. Big development, and well received...
