Thank you for sharing this good news. Welcome, Christina. The Wikimedia movement truly benefits from having skilled people like you in key roles. I hope we will have the chance to work together in the future, especially on projects that connect Africa and Europe.
I also want to thank Sandra for the great support she has given to the Wikimedia community in the Netherlands. It has been a pleasure working with you on different projects , you have always been reliable and professional. I wish you the very best in your next steps.
