If we're getting to this stage, then something has gone wrong with the
travel sponsorship already. People are expected (and told) to just
list the amount they *must* have sponsorship for in order to be able
to travel. Given that, offering 20% or 30% of that amount is not going
to help.
Do we believe that people are asking for more than they need?
