Explain your plan

Tell us about how you contribute currently, and how you would contribute if WMF were to gift a used laptop to you.

Active Kannada wikipedian since April 2018.
Member of Karavali wikipedian user's group And Wikiwomen/Mangalore. Participated in bridging gender gap in wikimedia project, diversity editathon of wikipedia project.
I have Participated in Wikimania 2021 and 2022. I have participated in Kannada wikipedia education program conference - 2019 held at St Aloysius College,Mangalore. And also participated in TTT2020 which was organised by CIS. Participated events like Kannada wiki sammilana 2023.

I managed to organize Wiki Loves Women 2020 and 2021 even though I don't have a laptop.

I need this support because due to the unavibility of laptop, I could not contribute more. I use mobile device at home to edit Wikipedia. It's very difficult to create event page.

If I get laptop support I can organize both online and offline events and meetings very easily. And I can add more pictures to the commons Wikimedia. And I can also participate in online events.
