Hello Kerlyn, Thank you for reaching out. We're eager to have you apply for the available Outreachy internship. Isaac already knows you which is great. We will begin reviewing your proposal. It looks like you have already followed all the instructions at https://mifosforge.jira.com/wiki/spaces/RES/pages/464322561/New+Contributor+Getting+Started+Guide and have already made one pull request which I'll make sure Abhay reviews. Continue to grab tickets from https://github.com/orgs/openMF/projects/1 as you've been doing.
