Hi Smalltalkers as you know ESUG is sponsoring students by offering free hosting and conference access during the conference but we cannot sponsor the trips else we would be bankrupted in one year. I forward you this call from a student from Egypt.

Dear ESUG Community,

My name is Anas Mohamed, and I am a student and a competitive programmer from Egypt.

I am honored to have the opportunity to join ESUG 2026 as a student volunteer. However, as a student from a low-income economic background in the Arab region, the costs of travel and visa remain a significant challenge for me.

I am reaching out to kindly ask if there is any company or individual within the ESUG community who would be willing to sponsor my flight tickets and visa expenses.

Being part of ESUG would mean a lot to me. I am eager to learn, gain experience, and actively contribute as a volunteer during the event.

I am highly motivated to make the most of this opportunity and represent the community in a positive way.

Thank you very much for your time and consideration.

Best regards, Anas Mohamed
