All African affiliates who would love to participate can submit short pre-recorded videos of 2 minutes or so. They can be in your local language or any language of your choice saying the words Happy Birthday Wikipedia, maybe with captions in English or other languages. This videos would be added to the stream on Youtube so if you can send it in early we would appreciate it.
