Before we even organized SKAP, we already have been doing outreach programs in our community dating back 2011. Alongside our Google Business Group outreach programs, we are integrating and doing Wiki projects side by side. We combine culture, heritage and technology to educate our people and help contribute to the global knowledge repository.
