Hello @Makoha, for verification, you were to reach out to Kevin via DM here on the forum or telegram to discuss and report to the community if it’s possible for your event to come into their budget.
Kevin is Sankore’s Hub Lead.

@IgbozeIsrael I thought tagging @Sankore2.0 in the proposal was a better way of open discussion with them and the community than DM

It’s been long Kevin has been seen on the forum. I guess because he is busy

They don’t share the progess back with the forum community? I have seen most of other communities do so here with reports

This is Sankore’s TG handle. You can find Kevin there.

About sharing forum reports, I have no idea

Hello @Dacha I never received feedback from @Sankore2.0, kindly requesting to re look into this proposal by marketing Dao members instead of creating another proposal.

@Mazi Hello. Do you have any information?

It’s hard reaching out to Kevin. Maybe due to the work load of Sankore.
