Hello guys, Let me first start by congratulating Stephen in his efforts to finalize

3rd and final phase of the Wikipedia for Schools project. Secondly, I would like to urge the Nyeri team to prioritize those who haven't participated in the prior regions (such as Grace and Ann). I

that these people should first be given an opportunity to go, before

room to others who went to Kakamega and Mombasa. Thirdly, I must say (and the Kakamega & Mombasa team leaders will agree

me on this) that we overspent in Kakamega and Mombasa at the

expense of Nyeri. This is due to a number of reasons including:-the unfavourable bank exchange rate, -Kakamega team increased cost of internal transport,-Kakamega incresed

of previsit,-Mombasa increased cost of accommodation. So, what do we do now? Oscar, Stephen and I are from having a

regarding the above. Taking our experiences from Mombasa and Kakamega,

all agreed that 6 people per school is a little too much. We have

proposed a cut from 6 people to 4 people. What are your thoughts? PS -- Being the first time for us to budget, I do believe that it's not

really bad thing for us to overspend. Regards, ------------------------------------- Abbas Mahmood t | +254722215101 f | www.facebook.com/abbasjnr s | abbasjnr Wikimedia Kenya Member "Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given

Guys, We did overlook a number of things in the Master budge like we planned for 5days yet we spent 7 days!among other things. and we did not also budget for the pre-visit yet it cost a substantial amount.I Hope this serves as a good learning experience after all every day is a learning experience in life....
