Request of extension to 15th April 2021

Dear @DSaroyan (WMF):, contrary to the contract term of our grant application ( WLA 2021) proposed for 15th February to 15th March 2021, the event was designed to run between 15th February-15th April 2021. So, to align with our local event with the international event. We, therefore, request to extend the grant for an additional one month Olaniyan Olushola (talk) 21:07, 16 March 2021 (UTC).
