[Imc-africa] Senegalese Conference Delegates

[Grace Waita]

 Thanks Sphinx:
Very much appreciate your keeping me updated about the latest arrangements. I will await further information about the ticket and the money you said you will be sending by Monday at the latest to pay for the ticket.
I just wanted to have more details about the logistics of the conference itself.
Where shall we be staying? Is this paid for? Will we have any daily allowance to cater  for our personal needs? Who is paying for  local transport? I am asking all these questions because we found out about this conference at the last minute and had obviously not budgeted for it. Quite frankly we have no funds and that is why it is important to know.
How many women are attending?
What are the language arrangements? Shall we have translators?

that sellected to pay your tranport and the transport of some other activists
from our complete list of delegates have a couple of rules.

One is that if we wish to recieved their donation as quasi-cash then we need to
make the application only through a registered foundation. And since the
foundation I do my other political work with meets only on the first week of
every month to take a decision on issues like that, then it could be late with
you and the other delegates making the trip to Dakar on time. 
Thus the acceptable option for them and possible for us was to look for a travel
agency that can issue tickets for all of your who were selected and send the
bill directly to the foundation who then handles the finanacial transaction with
them. So there is no extra money from them that could be sent to you.
Basically we have been into trying to see to cordinate that with traveling
agencies in Africa. The extra problem for kenya is that there is no cheap flight
from Kenya to Dakar.

And to make it posslbie for you us to get cheap flights you have to connect
flight witha couple of agencies which makes it impossible for you the ticket to
be retrieved in Niarobi. There isthe option of buying the various pieces of the
ticket and sending it to you by DHL or some other postal agency. The trouble
with this option is that the fastest post we need a minimum of 4days to deliver
the ticket to you.

Thu my insisting that you book the ticket and we see what arrangement to make 
between the agency you book by and the traveling agency here with the ticket
with many connections.As that was the request from the lady at tthe traveling
agency. 

So as you see it is not going to be easy to further ask from them visa fees from
the donors.
