Grants talk:Programs/Wikimedia Community Fund/Rapid Fund/Wiki Loves Earth 2023 in Northeastern Nigeria (ID: 22156452)

Endorsement from Ahmerd Adam (talk) 09:31, 7 May 2023 (UTC)

In my opinion, this project comes at the right time because the region witness the most greenest season during this period and that's why I'm enthuse by the choice of time in organizing the Wiki Loves Earth 2023 campaign within that period and see it as really an effort/attempt to achieve the desired result by the end of the project. But more importantly, I am more well please to see the strategies are well developed to execute the project smoothly. - Ahmerd Adam (talk) 09:31, 7 May 2023 (UTC)

My Opinion regarding this project Awwerl (talk) 16:25, 14 May 2023 (UTC)

Frankly, as an eye witness for the recently concluded local activities of Wiki Loves Africa 2023 organized by Wikimedia Fulfulde Community, I'm supporting this proposal to be considered for two reasons; the first is the fact that the project has inject such a strong spirit for commitment and dedication among the entire community members not only the organizers both have given their utmost best in seeing that they made great impact towards attaining the success that was achieved. Secondly, the kind of coordination, cooperation and collaboration each community member put their effort to contribute is of course something that we will be glad to continue having it in and around Wikimedia Communities volunteers both big and the smaller ones. For these reasons above I believe the Wiki Loves Earth project will help to strengthen the bonds among community members, help the community grow as many news volunteers are met through the event and indeed disclose the region of northeastern Nigeria which is clearly not well presented and covered in terms of visual contents.
