Some bubble tea for you!

Thanks for making the list of Girls Schools in African countries - it's really inspiring and I hope to help out with it! I've got my eye on the Libyan school to start with, if that's alright? Lajmmoore (talk) 20:43, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

Thanks very much - and I won't try to do anything with the Libyan school. You're doing some fantastic new pages. I find the information available about schools in Africa to be extraordinarily uneven.Dsp13 (talk) 20:53, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

Thank you! You too - it's really inspiring to see what you're working on too. Lajmmoore (talk) 10:35, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
