Theos-Talk Archives (June 1997 Message tl00535)

Hi.

I got the following message today and was wondering what others
might suggest.

Does anyone have any suggestions regarding the request in this
message? (for scholarships/financial support for people from
poorer countries to attend theosophical conventions)
