1. What is the change that you are trying to bring about and why is this important.

The change am about to bring is that almost all the mountains and hills around Jos and Bauchi are absent in wikimedia Commons, that's the gap am trying to cover the importance of my work is when ever an article is created about such hills or mountains their photos wouldn't be hard to get as they are already in wikimedia Commons. this project will leave no angle untouched I'll make sure to occupy and take all the relevant photo's of them this will make people to be able and identify the structure, view of the mountain and hills in Jos and Bauchi.

2. Describe your main approaches or strategies to achieve these changes and why you think they will be effective.

My main approach is to do a one week photo walk in the states. Four days walk in Jos and three days walk in Bauchi. To have a better access to these hills and mountains, for better experience. After taking the photos I will engage the people around the community to know the names of any mountain or hill I have taking a picture of for better recognition .

I will organize a two days workshop to engage with new and existing editors. The first day is to train new and existing editors on how to upload images to wikimedia commons, The second day will be to upload these images by the editors.
3. What are the activities you will be developing and delivering as part of these approaches or strategies?

the activities am developing is making sure these photos are well taking and are being added to wikimedia commons. to improve contents in all wikimedia projects. After discovering both the mountain and hills I will ensure to provide them in an easier way where anyone seeking for such information will have access to it in a simple way and explore themselves and discover what draw their intentions over that particular places.
