[Imc-africa] Where we are with preparation for the WSF-IMC

Fri Oct 13 11:31:26 UTC 2006

Hey all!
sorry for getting on board so late, i am really amazed how
far the project has gone since Dakar, and i really want to
be part of it.  I need funding for a flight to Nairobi to
set up the screen printing!  I will print t-shirts etc for
the WSF, the radio station, etc. that we can sell to re-fund
part of the expenses, or to raise more funds;  but more
importantly, i have more than one year experience of teaching
screen printing, so i will hold workshops that empowers participants
to set up their own low-cost screenprint workshops wherever
they want.  to whom do i have to speak to to be included
in the funding?  i need a flight from London!
thank you - hope- and faithfully
