Learning

edit

Projects do not always go according to plan. Sharing what you learned can help you and others plan similar projects in the future. Help the movement learn from your experience by answering the following questions:

  • What worked well?
    1. Very nice atmosphere, weather was beautiful.
    2. We localized sites fast.
    3. We benefited from help from the locals.
    4. Ratio between time spent and productivity was good; we did not feel exhausted nor bored. Means the route was fine.
    5. One of the sites we could not visit I visited after a month on my own.
  • What did not work so well?
    1. We often split routes so that we can explore more of a given site. DLSR camera was on EcoFM team; WLE Moldova team only had a crappy Xperia camera. More than half of the images were taken with Xperia.
  • What would you do differently next time?
    1. Use better cameras.

Finances

edit

Grant funds spent

edit

Please describe how much grant money you spent for approved expenses, and tell us what you spent it on.

  • 200.00 MDL - diesel fuel
  • 94.44 MDL - snacks on the road, incl. water
  • 251.00 MDL - lunch for four persons
  • 209.25 MDL - dinner (delivery of 3 pizzas)

This sums up to an amount of 754.69 MDL. At the time of writing this report, this amount translated to 36.5117 EUR.

Remaining funds

edit

Do you have any remaining grant funds?

The original requested amount was 800 MDL. In the email thread with Community Resources, it's been decided that we'll change to requested amount from 800 MDL to 754.69 MDL so that we don't have to worry about returns. So no, no remaining grant funds.
