Great work Abbas, lets all forge a way forward based on this information.
We can work with badges and the letter from WMF would be of great help at this stage.

Hi guys,
As promised, I contacted Wikimedia Foundation regarding the issues raised in the meetup:
*Legal Standing The Foundation does not recognise us as breaking any law: we are merely a proactive community.
*Identity It's quite difficult for us to use the Wikimedia Kenya logo at the moment, since we are not an official chapter yet. 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.
Regards, Abbas.
