Resources

What resources do you have? Include information on who is the organizing the project, what they will do, and if you will receive support from anywhere else (in-kind donations or additional funding).

As an employee and part-time educator at the Central Bicol State University of Agriculture (CBSUA), one of the Universities in the Philippines, I have the access to use some of its resources especially in promoting the project on different social media platforms. Aside from that, I have also colleagues from the university who are interested to engage in the Wikimedia movement. Involving them in this kind of initiative is also one way to introduce Wikimedia as an open-source of reliable and current information. I am also assisting the local community radio program of the University in which I can use to promote the project on-air.

What resources do you need? For your funding request, list bullet points for each expense:

Strong support for this proposal. As a regular editor, this project will motivate me further to improve a lot of articles in different Philippine-based language editions of Wikipedia. I intend to participate in Bikol Wikipedia (as an active contributor), Tagalog Wikipedia (living in a Tagalog-speaking region), and to help Hiligaynon and Rinconada Bikol Wikipedia in the Wikimedia Incubator. I am also delighted to know that Marvin with his team will implement this project in the Philippines given his experience and determination to pursue this one. -Ralffralff (talk) 08:28, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
