  9. The chosen topic (Human Rights topics especially those related to UN and SDG’s) seemed interesting to many
  • What did not work so well?
  1. The articles we dealt with needed a lot of time to get the exact Swahili translation.
  2. Lack of devices such enough laptops to some members slowed down the efficiency
  3. It was not possible to translate the entire long articles, rather few paragraphs
