Internet in a box in Wikimania 2018

It was my second Wikimania after Wikimania 2015 in Mexico city . As per I experienced, Wikimania always became a platform for me to deliberate our voice with the global community, and even better than a opportunity I found Wikimania as a place of taking over responsibility to forward Wikimedia revolution on the path of progress. Not only opportunity and responsibility Wikimania became a special platform for me to share and exchange knowledge with the Wikimedians from around the world.

Apart from sharing and exchanging knowledge I came to learn so many new online and offline Wikipedia projects. Executing offline Wikipedia via Kiwix and deploying Internet-in-a-box in remote areas of Nepal became one of the most important achievement for our community. Interwiki Wiki Women Edit-a-thon is one of the finest idea we're working on pitched by Armenian wikimedian Armineaghayan.

I have shared my Wikimania experience with my community.
