Explain your plan

Tell us about how you contribute currently, and how you would contribute if WMF were to gift a used laptop to you.

since... years I am working as a contributor and organizer of Bangla Wikipedia. I successfully organised various meetups, workshops, creating meta pages for events on behalf of West Bengal Wikimedian User Group. I also take the initiative to be the coordinator of inter-community projects. Currently, I am working as an event organizer of offline workshop awareness as a part of Wikimedia movement. I am going to start a library digitization program for our community and I will start the project in September 2024, Wiki Loves Your City aims at photo documentation. I need a laptop so I can contribute effortlessly. If WMF gives me a used laptop as a Wikipedia organizer and active contributor, I will use it for editing, research, promotion and maintenance work to contribute more effectively to the Wikimedia community.

I got a mac book laptop in 2018 but that mac book is now out of service completely. I am sure that if WMF gives me a used laptop soon, I will be able to perform as an active user in West Bengal Wikimedian User community.
