The manager who suggested this project (Work with marginalized groups) in the end didn't have enough time (due his private circumstances) to implement it. We hold only workshop to show how to use Wikipedia.
One part of Wiki expeditions was holding event in the place where is supposed to take photos. Project team did not have much success in negotiations with local institution in order to get free place and logistic support for event.
In unforeseen expenses are calculated hygienic maintenance of offices, refreshments for office (water, coffee, juice, tea ...), bulbs and other similar things for office, services of a lawyer for writing agreement, community support (refreshments and food during workshops and General Assembly) etc. -MikyM (talk) 09:24, 10 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
