Anything else edit

Anything else you want to share about your project?

We did the project earlier than planned because our partner, Atelewo informed us that they are rounding up for the year from the 15th of December that the event should happen before the 10th of December 2021. So, we did the events on the 3rd and 4th of December 2021.
