Goals

Did you meet your goals? Are you happy with how the project went?

Well I'm so so excited about this project. And I get to understand this with the help of my recents projects. That as you engaged in doing projects, you get to learn alot and have this whole experience. Every project brings newer experience and broadness. It makes you understand things better and see the clear picture of what you are doing.

I'm so excited about this project, this is because it educate our people, I received alot of Goodwill messages. Some people where amazed how a single platform gather all these relevant and important information. Covering every angle and providing alot of references and citation. .There is this particular message I received from a woman she said. I log into the whole links you shared about Covid 19 and I'm just surprised and amused, how did you people gather all these relevant information in your platform. The information are so rich, relevant and alot. I never thought any platform with such rich information exist. I reply it's the work of many editors together that provided all that, as she knows two head are better than one and I explained to that she too can contribute in any field she's educate too and I sent her the registration link. So even the Goodwill messages alone makes me happy about this project

What did not work so well?
Well some things did not works well as planned.

.We had to postpone the campaign for 4 days, this is due to network failure in Kaduna, katsina and zamfara state respectively. This is due to security issues, Government shut down network for some days.But we later continue as the network comes back.

. We faced alot of issues while buying fuel. There's is fuel scarcity. This is due to the government instructions not to sell the fuel for motorcycle riders within kaduna so this leads to the fuel price increasement and fuel scarcity.

. While the project is ongoing accidentally water drop ontop of my laptop keyboard which leads to the damage of the keyboard, so I had to rent laptop for the campaign period before my own got fixed.

What would you do differently next time?

.as I already mentioned in my last report. That I wanted to do 2 projects one on cancer awareness the other one on Harrasment. . I already draft and send the proposal of the cancer awareness. This is due to the responses I received from the professionals. I.e doctors and a nurse.

. About the Harrasment, I received a response from the police officer that he is willing to contribute and give his time too. and for the doctor I'm yet to receive his response the psychiatrist. Maybe within this week. And I contacted the on wiki professionals that will talk on the topic. And they are available. I will make sure I draft the proposal next month.
