Hey Abbas,
I think the best option could be for you to liaise with one of the
Wikimania attendees to stand in for you at the WCA meetup in DC.

Hi all,
There will be a Wikimedia Chapters Association meeting at Wikimania this
year and since I wouldn't be going, I think that Wikimedia Kenya should
select another WCA representative (preferably from the ones who will be
going to Wikimania) so that we can have someone to represent us and
update
us with WCA.
Yours,
Abbas.

Hi all,
Thank you for the support. I would have preferred someone else to take
this role due to other personal responsibilities, but since there
weren't
any other volunteers/nominees, I'll have to take it.
Regards,
Abbas.
