Dear Fawaz.tairou and Wikimédiens du Bénin User Group, thank you for submitting this rapid grant application. We have reviewed it and have a couple of questions and comments regarding your application:

  1. Would you please clarify whether you intend to have 20 attendees total, or 20 at each of the two events you are organizing, for a total of 40?
  2. Please note that we consider t-shirts a high-cost, low-value item and, due to their sizing, are not as inclusive as something like stickers or buttons. We prefer that grantees do not include them in their budgets. If you feel that you must, we ask that you limit their number to 5 and give them as prizes to participants who have contributed the most or had high quality contribution.

We look forward to reading your responses and making a funding decision. Thank you for taking the time to make these edits! Best regards, WJifar (WMF) (talk) 21:50, 27 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

Dear WJifar (WMF), please find below my answers to your questions :
  1. We intend to have 20 attendees total.
  2. I understand and update the number of tee-shirts to 5, for best contributors.
I'm still available for every eventual questions. Thanks

Hello Fawaz.tairou, thank you for the prompt response on our questions. I am approving your grant request. Please note I updated the amount to add contingency funds for unforeseen expenses. Sometimes, our grantees get charged for receiving funding so if you have any bank fees you can account for it in the grant. I also know that your grant start date has passed. Please adjust it for when you plan to start the project. Please let us know if you have any additional questions. Best regards, WJifar (WMF) (talk) 00:29, 28 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hello WJifar (WMF), thanks.
I get the email too. I'll adjust the dates and follow the instructions for the next steps.
