Hi Systers,

I'm Sanskriti, a 19 year old CS undergrad from India. I'm happy to share
that my poster on Mudra (
https://us.pycon.org/2014/schedule/presentation/106/), a braille
dicta-teacher coded in python and built on a raspi has been selected for
presentation at PyCon 2014. I'm very excited about this opportunity! Also,
it'll be lovely to actually meet the systers who were just faceless names
on my daily digest :)

However, the registration, visa, travel and accommodation costs will total
up to ~2500 USD, which is way beyond my means. I am trying my best to
obtain funding from sources like my university and PyCon itself, but in the
best case they'll fund me partially, which means I still have to be on the
lookout for sponsors/funding.

I will be really grateful if any of you would guide me towards any other
sources I could request for funding the presentation at PyCon.

Thanks in advance,

Sanskriti.

still we can find her a way out.
