That said, the Ministry is entirely open to providing assistance wherever it can. Just let us know how we can help and we will see what we can do (including promotion of the channel via our social media or other web assets). Just because this YouTube channel won't be officially endorsed, doesn't mean it can't benefit from government assistance.
