We will offer a limited number of seats for the locals who will attend; thus we will not be able to meet our funding needs through the attendance of these people. Also, the funds that will be donated from those traveling with us from North America, South America, Europe, Africa and Australia through Body Mind Spirit Journeys will not cover all expenses. Therefore we are seeking to raise a total of $20,000 to cover these and other expenses listed below. 1. Transportation and housing for Speakers who live on Sri Lanka 2. Transportation and housing for Speakers from distant Asian and western countries 3. Rental fees for the venue space 4. Video production of the event 5. Promotion of the event If
you would like to make a donation to help with these expenses, please contact |
