Hi, My Pleasure. This would go hand in hand with what I am doing at the moment- creating training content for teachers at Bridge international. I am therefore willing and ready to participate. Thanks On 01/11/2011, Asaf Bartov <abartov(a)wikimedia.org> wrote:

Dear colleagues, I am working on establishing a long-term partnership with an NGO named ITOCA, dedicated to education training in Africa[1]. One aspect of our proposed cooperation would be to introduce Wikipedia training to the curriculum in teacher trainings ITOCA delivers. I have sent them some training materials to review and think about, based on the training materials[2][3] that Limoke and I had prepared for the Setswana Wikipedia Challenge[4]. The operate throughout sub-Saharan Africa, but there is an opportunity to be involved close to home: they are to deliver training at the Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences (MUHAS) in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, between Nov 29th and Dec 1st. They would like to try incorporating Wikipedia training at this opportunity, and both they and I think it would be best if we can involve a Wikipedian in this first time we try to incorporate Wikipedia into their training curriculum. Would one of the WMKE members who have some experience in editing *and* in training be interested in going? We cover the airfare and accommodation, and will pay a small "per diem" allowance for meals and local transport.

Thank you, Isaac, for this gracious response. As Alex has made the same response privately, I think we can ask Stephen to be our representative for this one. (Kipruto -- I would feel comfortable asking you to represent us only after you integrate with the group, attend some meetups, etc. See if you can attend future meetings and let us get to know you better.) Stephen, can you confirm your availability for Nov 29-Dec 1st, so we can move forward? Cheers, Asaf On Wed, Nov 2, 2011 at 10:30 PM, Kosgei Isaac <kipchogekosgei(a)gmail.com>wrote;wrote:

Hi Asaf, I had earlier suggested that I would be interested to go to Tanzania but since my Friend Stephen has applied I think its only fair that he also gets a chance to travel out and get the exposure. I am sure this will be good for us having several people with expiriences from other places. to me its a +1 for Stephen Wanjau. I hope you all support this. Isaac K. Kosgei.

Hi Asaf, They would like to try

...

incorporating Wikipedia training at this opportunity, and both they and I think it would be best if we can involve a Wikipedian in this first time we try to incorporate Wikipedia into their training curriculum.

What kind of training would it be? Is it about basics of editing Wikipedia? Best, Limoke Oscar,
