Dear Wikimedia Community User Group Uganda Members, Greetings everyone! My name is *Nagawa Lillian*, and I am happy to be part of the Wikimedia Community User Group Uganda. I joined the Wikimedia movement in *March 2026* and have really enjoyed the learning journey so far. I am based in *Kampala, Uganda*. Since joining, I have learned about *Wikidata, translating articles into Luganda, and uploading photos to Wikimedia Commons*. I am grateful for what I have learned and excited about what I am still discovering. I look forward to improving my *article editing and writing skills*, learning how to write my own Wikipedia articles, and contributing more to the Wikimedia community. Thank you for the warm welcome. I look forward to learning and working with you all! Kind regards, *Nagawa Lillian* Wikimedia Username: *Lillylove256*
