I also think that 6months is long --we'll probably have completed the project by then. Maybe KDN might consider giving us a grant nonetheless, provided that it will be used in the best interest of Wikimedia Kenya -- that is, give us some funds that will be used for future projects.

Hi Guys,

I spoke to KDNs R&D manager regarding the Wikipedia for Schools project we have going on and KDN's possible sponsorship of the project. The forward below is what he had to say.

6 months seems long so I told him I'll talk to you guys first. Give me your thoughts on this.

ps: they can also sponsor future events

regards, Alex.

Hi Alex,

Wonderful idea! I can see a great future in the project; but until at least March next year, KDN budgets are really tight. I really feel that we can take the project on if you are willing to wait for around 6 months.

As for your recommendation letter, the HR is taking time to respond. Let me send her a reminder.

Regards, Zuhair Jaffer, R&D Manager, Kenya Data Networks.
