Hello my friends there in Fablab Lima,

I just would like to know, had you received any notification from fablabs org about you being one of our referee labs? I would like to ask for update about our approval process for our fablabs to be registered. We actually received one approval already (but we don’t know who was it among the three referees) but waiting for another one for us to be visible in the organization. However, until now, we haven’t heard anymore about our application.

I hope you can help us with this. We really love to hear back from you guys there and exchange ideas about improving fablabs and making almost anything through the technology. Thank you so much and God bless!

Looking forward for your response.

Warm regards,
