Raffi, are you a male? I am thinking that you are so my fundraising suggestion won't help you. there is an organization called "Mama Cash" that you can find on the internet. It helps fund women from less privileged places in the world attend conferences. I don't know too much about them but they funded a woman to attend the November Practice of Peace in Seattle from Eastern Europe.
If any women see this suggestion and they are looking for financial support, I suggest they check it out. Mama Cash is not interested in funding Americans.
