Dear daniel
I have received your email I hope you are doing well. I wish I had understood the idea and that I may not be able to participate, because I do not speak English and I do not speak French fluently, I blogger in tamazight wikipedia only in Berber and I only speak Berber languages In addition, I have no knowledge of cinematic work. I doubt that I can offer you anything in your project of such a unique and wonderful vision. Google Translate helped me edit this message for you.
Thank you

Hello! I'm following up on my email of last week to see if you are interested to speak with us and learn more about our upcoming edit-a-thon campaign in association with the Fespaco film festival. If so, let's see if we can find a time to speak over the coming week. Thank you.
All best,

Dear all:
On the occasion of the 2023 edition of Fespaco https://fespaco.org/en/welcome-to-fespaco/, the continent’s largest film festival taking place between February 25th and March 4th, AfroCreatives WikiProject https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/AfroCreatives_WikiProject is launching a pan-African Edit-a-thon campaign to enhance content on the art and industry of African film.
We would like to connect with you to see if this is a campaign that your community group would be interested in being part of.
AfroCreatives will conduct training sessions in French and English on-site at Fespaco, as well as ‘global’ online sessions. It will also lead an online campaign in the lead-up to, and during the campaign in partnership with Fespaco and other partners.
While contributors are welcome to contribute in any language, the promotion and judging of this campaign will be in English and in French, the two primary languages of the film festival.
As part of this campaign, we would like to engage local groups throughout the continent who are interested and would be committed partners. Could we interest you in a conversation sometime next week to discuss this possibility?
If this is a good fit for your usergroup, we will encourage you to consider applying for a Rapid Grant https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Rapid#December_2022_%E2%80%93_January_2023 from the Wikimedia Foundation. Applications are due December 1.
Best,
