Good morning Dan,

I'm Kratist0s a core contributor at Polkadot Africa and specifically focusing on East Africa.
It's nice to see an educational initiative for East Africa, I understand you have been running Web3 educational initiatives and specifically for Cardano.

Last month we hosted a community meet-up in Nairobi Kenya and we shared our plan to educate, upskill, offer resources and opportunities to Polkadot community. These will be online mostly and some hybrid IRL.

In East Africa we have a partnership with Rustaceans Kenya, the local Rust community who will assist with introduction concepts before we go hands on Polkadot. You can find the link to the monthly series here https://lu.ma/wx5f149a
In March we shall host a Polkadot focused sessions that will run for a whole month which will be lead by Polkadot Blockchain Academy graduates and Polkadot developers currently working in the ecosystem.

These learning sessions are meant to offer developers a starting point and better understanding of the ecosystem under the mentorship of Polkadot agents.
Our goal is that after these series we should increase the capacity of Polkadot developers in the region who can now build on Polkadot, contribute as well as educate others like yourself.
We are are also starting developer bounties soon in partnership with OpenGuild which should help in motivating developers.

I will highly encourage you and your community to join us and learn with us first, then from there you can initiate your own workshops. This will also offer you the chance to connect and network with existing Polkadot developers from Africa since you are new.

We also have a program where we support all Rank 1 ambassadors from the Polkadot Fellowship, please join our discord https://discord.gg/S3g4P5xT to access this.
The support program will ensure all ambassadors have access to resources and materials needed to learn about Polkadot, navigate the ecosystem and also collaborate as a community.
For example Meet-ups or events (online/IRL) should go through Meet up bounty which we can assist to get you started and learn about their requirements to apply for your events.

Good day
Thank you for your proposal
But:

• DOT and not Stable?
• Not event bounty?
• 300$ for zoom?
  Oh..
