First of all, we divided our tasks on two formats: Online and Offline co-ordination. Under Online operation we organized Wiki Women Edit-a-thon in Nepali Wikipedia, Maithili Wikipedia, Doteli Wikipedia and Newari Wikipedia. Numerous articales related to Women health and social issues were created and edited during the online event. Under offline operation we collaborated with various Medical Collages and institutions and operated presentation and demonstrated sessions.

Well, with a theme of "Right person at right job" we're deployed doctors and nurses to lead our offline activities like with respect to our organisational themes and criteria . We believe this is something we've been practising to flourish our event strategy to achieve our goals.

You can recall these learning questions below: In this project through this collaborations with numerous parties and associates we hope to built a strong and productive enthusiastic task force to create and distribute the free and open knowledge to everyone needed.

Well, learning have always been a crucial part of every events, specially the mass events. As we've organized Wiki Women after a long time we realized a bunch of gap to fulfill this time. So, we initiated a collaboration with Medical colleges and institutions to execute our awareness sessions about Women related health and social issues. There's where we learn how to co-ordinate, collaborate and execute events with local involvements and associates in minimum resources available.

So, something we overcame this year as well is a cross organisational collaborations with various field related organisations during awareness sessions. Afterwards, we do have hope and believe to continue such mutual ventures in future as well.

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)

Yes, along with the awareness sessions, we did online edit-a-thon in 4 different Wikipedia including Nepali Wikipedia, Maithili Wikipedia, Doteli Wikipedia and Newari Wikipedia which grabbed quite good amount of unexpected participation. Along with that one of our collaborator organized an streed drama sessions in Family Palnning and women health condition during pregnancy, which was also we didn't planned but executed in local level.

Although we believe we're still struggling to reach our targets, we believe to keep on walking and looking forward for more next year.

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)
