Lessons and renewal:

DCW recommends the volunteers to share lessons and experiences that they learn from their activities, as these are important for our evaluation plans.

  • The volunteers may submit a request for renewal of internet support two weeks prior to the expiry of current plan, explaining how they have completed their proposed work.
