Support details

Support type

What type of support you need

• Chromebook
• Internet

Reason

Why do you need this support (Internet and/or Chromebook) I do not have any laptop/chromebook, that I can carry for wikipedia related work. The external body of the machine is broken and I am not comfortable in carrying it for meetings and editathons

Do you have a working laptop? I do have a laptop, but its external body is broken now so I do not take it out of my house.

Had you received the support in the first iteration of Project Tiger? No

Future activities

How will you use this in the next six months?

• The machine can be used for conducting editathons.
• I am in touch with a school in Delhi, where awareness of Wikipedia can be spread, students can be taught and encouraged for making wiki edits. Principal of the institution is insisting to initiate the activity from the beginning of new academic year.
