        <p>Hi Team</p>
        <p><br>
        </p>
        <p>We are working as local organizing committee to push for more
          registration and we will be meeting next week Tuesday to iron
          most of the urgent issues at hand.</p>
        <p><br>
        </p>
        <p>In terms of registration in general like i indicated earlier,
          paying using VISA/Mastercard is not common in Tanzania as
          Mobile Money option is widely used hence the importance of
          emphasizing onsite registration.
        </p>
        <p><br>
        </p>
        <p>PS: At the bottom of the eventbrite page for registration,
          this option of onsite registration is not that visible and its
          easier for someone not to figure it our as the font is to
          tiny.</p>
        <p><br>
        </p>
        <p>Meanwhile, we will get back to the OC on the issue of tzNOG
          students participation who we believe should be given either
          free pass or find a way to fund their participation.</p>
