Part 1 Understanding your work
[edit]1. Briefly describe how your proposed activities and strategies were implemented.
La segunda fase del proyecto tuvo un cambio radical debido a que para diciembre el alza de los precios fue exorbitante y que, desde noviembre, el paso hacia los pueblos del páramo fue inestable y riesgoso a causa de las lluvias. Véase anexo.
Por esa razón, se centró a exclusivamente creación de contenido y talleres de edición así como editatones para utilizar el material documentado.
2. Were there any strategies or approaches that you felt were effective in achieving your goals?
Se continúo con la visibilización de los proyectos Wikimedia al tener bastante efectividad durante la primera parte. A raíz de ello, se lograron contactos para el establecimiento de programas educativos que incluyan a Wikiviajes como parte de la concientización.
3. Would you say that your project had any innovations? Are there things that you did very differently than you have seen them done by others?
Aunque no estuvo contemplado en el plan de mitigación de riesgos, a causa de los derrumbes ocasionados por las lluvias se planteó una nueva forma de realizar esta segunda parte al convocar de forma virtual y física a individuos para enseñarles a usar las herramientas que el movimiento Wikimedia proporciona. De la misma forma, los recursos que están disponibles para replicar este tipo de proyectos. Todo esto para poder beneficiar en gran medida a los pueblos del páramo y a Wikiviajes.
A su vez, el material obtenido es también usado por los participantes del Wikivoyage 10, un concurso dedicado a la celebración del décimo aniversario de Wikiviajes, por lo que se espera que el material pueda usarse en mayor medida en otras actividades similares.
4. Please describe how different communities participated and/or were informed about your work.
Al igual que en la primera parte, las comunidades de Wikimedia Venezuela y WikiAcción Perú fueron notificadas de los cambios realizados en la segunda parte obteniendo también retroalimentación positiva para mejorar en futuros proyectos.
La comunidad de Mucuchíes fue receptiva al cambio en la segunda parte y aceptaron las series de capacitaciones propuestas.
5. Documentation of your impact. Please use the two spaces below to share files and links that help tell your story and impact. This can be documentation that shows your results through testimonies, videos, sound files, images (photos and infographics, etc.) social media posts, dashboards, etc.

6. To what extent do you agree with the following statements regarding the work carried out with the support of this Fund? You can choose “not applicable” if your work does not relate to these goals.
| A. Bring in participants from underrepresented groups | Agree |
| B. Create a more inclusive and connected culture in our community | Agree |
| C. Develop content about underrepresented topics/groups | Strongly agree |
| D. Develop content from underrepresented perspectives | Strongly agree |
| E. Encourage the retention of editors | Neither agree nor disagree |
| F. Encourage the retention of organizers | Strongly agree |
| G. Increased participants' feelings of belonging and connection to the movement. | Neither agree nor disagree |
7. Is there anything else you would like to share about how your efforts helped to bring in participants and/or build out content, particularly for underrepresented groups?
N/A
Part 2: Your main learning
[edit]8. In your application, you outlined your learning priorities. What did you learn about these areas during this period?
Debido a que se obtuvo información de primera fuente de los residentes en la población, se pudo conocer las necesidades de replicar este tipo de actividades que permitan preservar su cultura. Los pobladores y potenciales aliados han determinado que no existe proyectos nacionales que permitan este tipo de documentación histórica. La difusión de su patrimonio es muy importante para ellos, por lo que tienen el interés mayor de que pueda ser almacenado y distribuido de forma libre y gratuita.
9. Did anything unexpected or surprising happen when implementing your activities?
El cambio en centrarse únicamente en aprovechar la documentación obtenida a raíz de los imprevistos fue bastante importante.
10. How do you hope to use this learning? For instance, do you have any new priorities, ideas for activities, or goals for the future?
Considerando que este piloto fue un éxito. El siguiente objetivo del sendero es el de incrementar las poblaciones a documentar, crear proyectos de educación y herramientas para acceder a los proyectos Wikimedia por aquellos que tengan una conexión a internet así como los que no lo tienen.
11. If you were sitting with a friend to tell them one thing about your work during this fund, what would it be (think of inspiring or fascinating moments, tough challenges, interesting anecdotes, or anything that feels important to you)?
Las caminatas y accesos a lugares desconocidos fueron de bastante importancia. A su vez, en los momentos inesperados de fallos en el transporte, las horas estancados nos servían para preguntar sobre datos de interés que sean importantes para los pobladores.
12. Please share resources that would be useful to share with other Wikimedia organizations so that they can learn from, adapt or build upon your work. For instance, guides, training material, presentations, work processes, or any other material the team has created to document and transfer knowledge about your work and can be useful for others. Please share any specific resources that you are creating, adapting/contextualizing in ways that are unique to your context (i.e. training material).

Part 5: Sense of belonging and collaboration
[edit]21. What would it mean for your organization to feel a sense of belonging to the Wikimedia or free knowledge movement?
La oportunidad ofrecida a través del financiamiento es importante ya que permite abrir caminos a nuevas ideas que podrán ser de beneficio. Esperamos que el Comité Regional y el Equipo de Recursos Comunitarios estén abiertos a ofrecer oportunidades de crecimiento y no a eliminarlas basadas en métricas inaccesibles, riesgos preliminares que pueden cambiar en futuras solicitudes u otras cosas que en un piloto no darán resultados satisfactorios, pero en un proyecto completo podrían sorprender bastante.
Es importante aprender de ambos lados y tener una visión enriquecida antes de tomar decisiones que podrían decepcionar o plantear un cambio radical en el proceso.
