Hello!
I have concerns based on your present progress.
The community is quiet and your team is still kicking up.

You have mentioned Mental Maze in your proposal and due to that, I will abstain from voting on your proposal. However, I am not impressed with your current growth and engagement rate.

Thanks you

Thanks for the response bro… I have not actually submitted this proposal… Am still on it presently trying to correct the errors and any attachments whatsoever from the last submission because we are only re-submitting our previous proposal as a step to bring in newbies onboard as a strategy to rebuild the interest of our old community members that have lost hope in the ecosystem in one way or the other.

Our community has not been quiet…we have been on executing the project at hand which is on our social media handles and our community quiz is going on very well in the community with absolute participation of our community members

I have responded to this on BOS, let me copy it and paste here too.

Thank you for your proposal.

Unfortunately; I won’t support this funding round, i mentioned it on another proposal that we won’t be able to support all campus tours. Do apply for the next round, and despite your previous funding, your community still needs a lot of growth and improvement because this is not a NEW community.

Since this is not yet done, i believe it’s different from what is on BOS. For that, I am signifying that it is for the next funding round.

Thank you.

@Bakaka Thanks for your response… But I must let you know how this real life event has alot to do with our community resuscitation and development as our community the SWNCN is in need to re-ignite the interest of the community members who has long lost interest in the ecosystem because os some irregularities and moreover the last funding was our first funding and we can’t be categorised as not been new as no project has been anchored by our community only the normal internal development we embarked on before we were funded.

Why do we w need the approval of the proposal:
We really need to a physical encounter with the blockchain community around us to bring life and potentials that help develop our community in the system as performing online alone won’t be enough to achieve a desired results… All these are what we came about in the last funding that made us add the real life event at first so that we can really take the bull by the horn.
