Wanted! sources for financial support to people dear to us who cannot come to the conference without support

12.01.2010

We are eagerly searching for solutions to give financial support to people dear to us who cannot come to the conference without such help. Among others we have turned to Jgooders, a site on which anyone can advertise a project or venture dear to his heart, which needs funding. The good thing about Jgooders is that it does not apply to wealthy people, and therefore does not request large sums.
