Hello,

Thank you for expressing interest in this. I will have a discussion with
the project organizers and get back to you with more details.

IMO, I believe there must be a way through which you can offer support
remotely.

best,
Stephen

>>
>> FYI, The African Incubator shall be rolled out in the whole of Africa.
>>
>> They are planning to do a pilot test over Christmas and then later go

>>
>> She called for volunteer Wikipedians who will oversee the newbies

>>
>> Your feedback regarding this project is highly appreciated and antipated.
