[Wikimedia Kenya] Nyeri Pilot

[stephen wanjau]

Hi,
Now that the Mombasa pilot is complete and successful.

I could do the previsit now then the pilot would be done later.
I have found that these schools will be taking their first term exams
from next week then they will have a window period as they wait for
their teachers to mark the same,and I probably thought that this would
be an opportunity for us to do the pilot rather than wait for second
term which is quite far from now.
 just me thoughts.

regards,
Stephen
