Hi Vicente 
 
I sympathise with you on this issue, as I will be paying my own way to ALARA myself. Are there any humanitarian-type funding agencies in Maputo-Mozambique who might assist you with your living costs while in Australia, perhaps through acknowledgement of their support in your paper, or through subsequent presentation when you're back home? If your situation is stretched, this kind of approach may be worth a try. 
 
Just a thought, and hope to catch up with you in Melbourne. Congratulations on having your paper accepted! 
 
Kind regards 
 
Pip
