Approved

Hello FaithMwanyolo thank you for answering my colleague's questions and updating your grant request. We're really excited to see an application galvanizing the Kenyan Wikimedians community. I was especially excited to see you put a follow-up event in place to keep the momentum with the community going. I look forward to reading the report from your activities. I am approving your grant request. Best regards, WJifar (WMF) (talk) 12:36, 14 December 2018 (UTC)

Request for additional grant funds

Hello WJifar (WMF) I successfully carried out the first event on 30 January 2019. I, however, realized that I under budgeted. The initial caterers were unable to deliver and hence I had to add an extra $100 for the catering services. I also had to include $15.96 for 2 extension cords and $6.98 for transportation of 2 volunteers who helped me out during the event. This comes to a total of $117.94. The total spent for the first event was $493.94 therefore in order to be able to cater for the second event an extra $235.88. I do apologize for any inconveniences caused. Thank you !
