5. Did anything unexpected or surprising happen when implementing your activities? This can include both positive and negative situations. What did you learn from those experiences? (required)
Positively, I was surprised on how our participants are Happy with this campaign, the enthusiasm they show towards learning and contributing to Wikimedia projects. The love they show to the campaign "Wiki Loves Women - #ShesSaid", the eagerness and zeal to know more about Wikimedia Foundation activities. As they are journalists, they even went ahead and publish a number of articles and aired them on various news papers and social media platforms.
We plan to work with AGILE which is a Federal Government project on girl child education, but we could not achieve this due to some certain delays by the organization. So, we seek out for other women organisations and we receive a positive feedback and organize our activities successfully.
6. What is your plan to share your project learnings and results with other community members? If you have already done it, describe how. (required)
We have directly shared our campaign flyers and pictures with our Hausa community on Whats app on different occasions. We will also share details on success of our project and share them.
