accesskinging to Goa

[Therese Fitzpatrick]

Raffi, are you a male?  I am thinking that you are so my fundraising
suggestion won't help you.  there is an organization called "Mama Cash" that
you can find on the internet.  It helps fund women from less privileged
places in the world attend conferences.  I don't know too much about them
but they funded a woman to attend the November Practice of Peace in Seattle
from Eastern Europe.

If any women see this suggestion and they are looking for financial support,
I suggest they check it out.  Mama Cash is not interested in funding
Americans. FYI.

>Dear listers,
>I have put together an appeal letter (with LisaHeftAccessQueen's help)
so that I can attend the Goa conference. I've never been to an OSonOS
before.
>
>Is there anybody on the list who I could send the proposal to who could
do the "ask" for me? Might you have ideas as to where I might make
the "ask"? Or maybe you know of people you could forward the
letter to.

>Altogether I am seeking $1570 US:
>Travel (Moscow-Goa roundtrip) $800
>Conference fee $150
>Accommodation $250
>Meals $170
>Miscellaneous expense (pocket money) $200
>
>I have accesskinged my way to other things before, but each time it's a
little scary, almost like opening space for the nth time.

>Thanks for your support!
