Endorsements edit

  • I support this project because it will train more African Librarians/Library students to run with Wikimedia foundation’s vision, which is to collect, develop and provide free access to knowledge and information globally. Nellydieli (talk) 20:02, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
  • <nowiki>This is an especially good idea when you consider the target audience and that they are rarely reached out to. I do support it as it will help the audience become more involved with the Wikipedia project among other Foundation projects.AKibombo (talk) 08:54, 15 November 2021 (UTC)
