Support I know Sandeep as an educator (See Productive Programs section) who is passionate about community development, and has worked a lot at the grassroots level. If supported, I believe she could help the wider community in having one of the most active Indic communities - the Punjabi Wikimedians - heard in the development of the Movement Charter, which affects the global movement. This is worth investment and 750$ is just a meagre amount to get this job done. She perfectly helped collect feedback during the first phase as well. Given her dedication, I am happy to endorse this. I wish her all the best. ─ The Aafī ^{^(talk)} 15:03, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
