By the time we finalise on the nitty gritty, I believe that the Foundation will have the letter ready for us. Just a reminder, the following parts of the proposal are sitll unfinished: *Pilot (details, coverage, etc) *Methodology (I don't know whether 'methodology' should be under 'pilot' or a topic on its own???) *Budget If we could split and get volunteer(s) working on each of the above sections, we might as well come up with afinal draft by the end of the week.

We can work with badges and the letter from WMF would be of great help at this stage. David.

Alternatively, we can print name tags, shirts with "Wikimedia in Kenya". Moreover, the Foundation is willing to give us a letter of support for the project. *Launch of the Project A representative MIGHT be sent to attend the event. For those who didn't attend the meeting, Grace is working on the minutes and she'll post them up soon. As Grace had suggested at the meetup, the letters from the Ministry and the WMF are sufficient enough to use when approaching schools. With that sorted out, I think that we should now finalise drafting the proposal so that we can submit it to the Ministry of Education.
