Traveling can be very expensive, and IRASCOM an organization with very limited financial resources presently, is seeking the pledges, donations, assistance and support from our membership and supporters. Whether the I’s can make a financial contribution, hold a bake-sale or fundraiser, help organize some sponsors for the trip, or whatever assistance is possible, we would be gracious. If one can donate $5, $10, $15, $20 or any amount, this would go along way to help take the message of IRASCOM to the Hispanic and International Rasta Community who will be present at this conference.

At present, IRASCOM estimates the travel expenses to at the very least cost an estimated $2,000.00USD (Two thousand U.S Dollars) to assist three (3) members of the delegation with their travel expenses.
