Guys, We did overlook a number of things in the Master budge like we planned for 5days yet we spent 7 days!among other things. and we did not also budget for the pre-visit yet it cost a substantial amount.I Hope this serves as a good learning experience after all every day is a learning experience in life....
Goodluck to the Nyeri guys

Hello guys, Let me first start by congratulating Stephen in his efforts to finalize
the
3rd and final phase of the Wikipedia for Schools project. Secondly, I would like to urge the Nyeri team to prioritize those who haven't participated in the prior regions (such as Grace and Ann). I
believe
that these people should first be given an opportunity to go, before
giving
room to others who went to Kakamega and Mombasa. Thirdly, I must say (and the Kakamega & Mombasa team leaders will agree
with
me on this) that we overspent in Kakamega and Mombasa at the unfortunate expense of Nyeri. This is due to a number of reasons including:-the unfavourable bank exchange rate, -Kakamega team increased cost of internal transport,-Kakamega incresed
cost
of previsit,-Mombasa increased cost of accommodation. So, what do we do now? Oscar, Stephen and I are from having a discussion regarding the above. Taking our experiences from Mombasa and Kakamega, we all agreed that 6 people per school is a little too much. We have
therefore
proposed a cut from 6 people to 4 people. What are your thoughts? PS -- Being the first time for us to budget, I do believe that it's not a really bad thing for us to overspend. Regards,
