It's that time of year again and we're proud to announce our class of 2021 Google Summer of Code interns. Regrettably Mifos was not selected as a mentoring org this year but we were fortunately able to participate under the umbrella of the Apache Software Foundation and have selected 5 interns to contribute back to Fineract-related projects this summer.
Mifos along with mentors from the community will be guiding them through our traditional communication and check-in protocols for GSOC. Community members are welcome t j Join us in welcoming our interns, Danish Jamal, Kinar Sharam, Varun Jain, from India, Yemdjih Nasser, from Cameroon, and Benura Abeywardena from Sri Lanka. You can learn more about their professional background and their projects in our official welcome blog post at *https://mifos.org/blog/gsoc-2021/ <https://mifos.org/blog/gsoc-2021/>*. Below are links to the project plans for each intern. Stay tuned for Part 2 of our Welcome Blog Post with Fun Facts next week. Already they're off to a great start so say congrats and welcome them to the community!
