Learning[edit]
Projects do not always go according to plan. Sharing what you learned can help you and others plan similar projects in the future. Help the movement learn from your experience by answering the following questions:
- What worked well? We were granted full access to the site of monuments and as such were able to snap quite a good number of pictures.
- What did not work so well? We had challenges locating the Crushed Rock in Sango as there were very little information about the rock online.Moreso, the location was not covered on google map or open street map.
- What would you do differently next time? We will carry out feasibility studies for the monuments before choosing it .
