The reports no details on how many infographics were made as a result.  
There is also no information about the various giveaways(if it were) or how the grant money was spent.

Hi @Vladislav_vl25 , It’s stated here and the money was spent according to the proposal ($200 for each account management & $10 per graphic)

There was no giveaway in the original proposal so we didn’t do that. Thanks!

We will post the next report in better draft as proposed by you 😇
