Connections made

[edit]

I have been able to connect to some of the Ugandan Wikimedians

Learning points

[edit]

One key and usual point I have been able to learn is that an individual Wikimedian can also apply for a grant to participate in Wiki Loves Africa.

Outcome

[edit]

I planning to organise projects which will make an impact after getting such immerse knowledge from my fellow Wikimedians during the Indaba.
