Staff comments

The images on this embassy article (see "彭惊涛大使出席“一带一路”奖学金颁发仪式") show a large check that labeled at 200,000 CFA Francs. This amount has not been coded into this project because it is unclear how many scholarships the amount covers. Another image shows two such checks, with many students in view.
