Call for YOUR Bursary Donation |
| |
The "Geneva 2010" Conference Organisers strive to ensure diversity at the Conference by enabling participation of people from developing and emerging economies, organisations engaged at the grassroots level, organisations addressing the concerns of indigenous populations and minorities, as well as young people and students.
However, despite all the efforts (fundraising, bursary donation opportunity on the registration website etc.) much more bursary requests have been received than currently available bursary funds would allow to finance.
We encourage EVERYBODY – NGOs, institutions, organizations and individuals – to donate to this project!
We created a PayPal Donation button on the website which allows a very simple donation process by credit card.
All contributions are warmly welcome – every Swiss franc will help!
