Link organises group insurance - unless you have a yearly worldwide policy. Each group of hitchers is requested to telephone or email every 48 hours. There have not been any serious incidents since 1990 - we insist all hitchers abide by our rules. Obviously hitching costs you nothing, so the only subsequent expense is your own food, accommodation and travel during your trip. In terms of return travel, Usit Campus have kindly agreed to make it possible for hitchers to pre-book single inbound flights from Morocco.
Many people fly from Spain, go overland or even decide to hitch back.
Cash Pledged as Sponsorship Hitchers' sponsors are asked to send cheques directly to Link. In addition, all hitchers must send cheques for the total amount of cash sponsorship they have raised and for the total amount they have been pledged before they leave for Morocco. These cheques must reach Link 7 working days prior to departure and the latter will be cashed on the 1st June in the year of the Hitch. There are two main reason for this. The aim of the hitch is to raise funds for Link's work in education in South Africa.
