So many sponsors/backers and the kids have to pay to participate?
Because we are busy trying to achieve something that has been achieved in the 90s. … It’s like trying to build a plane in Zimbabwe yet some people are already trying to phase out planes
Where will this be held/hosted?
I will pay when the price drops you want students yo pay $37 for being participants in this economy. There are more places to go besides this event for free
