Hi Team, Do you think we could host and have successful Wikipedia and Wikimedia Kenya Stories Broadcast worldwide??
Well Here is our chance...... > Hi! > > My name is Victor Grigas and I'm a storyteller with the Wikimedia > Foundation in San Francisco. I'm chronicling the inspiring stories of the > Wikipedia community from around the world.
