.I must start by personally congratulating Abbas,Oscar and Oliver on doing such a great job on developing and managing this project plan for Wikimedia Kenya.The extra time you have been putting on this has really paid off and I believe that you presented an ambitious and attainable set of goals for the team.well done and congratulations!The fruit of your labor is sweet and I must say you deserve it.
Along with this message is my applause and gratitude for the wonderful job that the Wikimedians have done today and the days beforehand.Of all things you Wikimedians have done,I particularly salute this one.
Doing all this extra work while continuing in your full time position was extremely ambitious and took a lot of effort and dedication on your part.
I am sure it was worth it all,knowing that our achievement will make such a positive difference in people's lives.
Well done.
I may now proudly say"najivunia kuwa Wikimedian"
Once again thank you.
