poor countries should be given first opportunities
Dear all
I wa very interested to attend SGC 2007 in India but i couldnt afford it because i had no money then to pay to all expences, but i still hope that the SGC 2008 must attend but if and only if the deligates from poor countries could be given a financial support so that we can join with our fellow deligates in Scoatland.The SGC 2007 went well as i have seen through the website therefore next year dont wanna miss it!
Hello Saria,
We are always striving to raise more money to help everyone attend SGC. This year, there were about 40 people on site and more than 25% were given financial aid to attend ranging from partial assistance to full assistance including travel costs. The majority of these people were from "developing countries" as the UN calls them including Tanzania, Nigeria, Venezuela, Columbia, China, and more. We do our best every year, but we are limited by how much money is donated by sponsors. Its never too late to start looking for aid, and we always suggest that people start as soon as they can. Right now, there is 11 months till SGC 2008, we as the organisers are already looking for money and we suggest delegates do the same, it is not easy, but neither is space travel.
