Dear all,
As we all know that Wikimedia Community Nepal successfully
participated in two biggest events named Wiki Loves Earth
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Earth_2014> and Wiki
Loves Monuments
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2014>,
3600+
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Images_from_Wiki_Loves_Earth_2014_in_Nepal>
photos were uploaded by the 137 users in Wiki Loves Earth and about 1100
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Images_from_Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2014_in_Nepal>
photos were uploaded by the 85
<http://stats.wikilovesmonuments.cl/?pais=nepal#summary> users in Wiki
Loves Monuments.
Results of both WLE
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Earth_2014/Winners#Winners>
and WLM
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2014_winners#Winners>are
announced few days back by the international team, where two of our
photographs were selected in short list of Top 28
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wle-jury-report-2014-hires.pdf>
photographs ,ranked as 23rd and 24th position in WLE among the 70,000
photographs worldwide.
We need to organize a program and award the winners of WLE-14 and
WLM-14.
So, as suggested by Hempal ji what about utilizing the funds for this
purpose ?
Yours sincerely,
Nabin Sapkota

Dear All,
As you know we did good number of outreaches in zero cost during our
grant period. To my mind, we can have couple of outreach and outreach
enabling meetings in some cities out the valley. I suggest to spend the
unspent money in outreach activities.
Best,
Ganesh
