Endorsements

• I strongly endorse Sadik's participation for the Creative Commons Global Summit. Mawulicherubim (talk) 22:21, 22 February 2017 (UTC)
• I endorse this grant application. Ghana does not have a group of affiliates for Creative Commons yet. It is important to have dedicated contributors and activists versed in free licenses in this country, especially knowing that Ghana does not have freedom of panorama. That Shahadusadik has received an invitation to the summit proves that Creative Commons sees potential in him. --Gereon K. (talk) 18:30, 1 March 2017 (UTC)
• I endorse this grant, Sadike will help the whole African community and will share the experience he will get.Ahmed Mohi El din (talk) 15:25, 8 March 2017 (UTC)
