Hi Team,
Do you think we could host and have successful Wikipedia and Wikimedia
Kenya Stories Broadcast worldwide??
Well Here is our chance......
Hi!
My name is Victor Grigas and I'm a storyteller with the Wikimedia
Foundation in San Francisco. I'm chronicling the inspiring stories of the
Wikipedia community from around the world. Stories are critical to inform
and inspire the general public to support the Wikipedia movement by
donating their money or to become volunteers themselves.
I spoke with Asaf Bartov, and he told me you would be a good person to
speak with.
After seeing this inspiring story about Kenya's very own Gabriel Nderitu -
http://newsfeed.time.com/2010/10/26/kenyan-man-builds-airplane-in-yard-base…
and hearing about the 'Project for Kenyan Schools', I thought that it
might be fruitful to plan a trip to Kenya to interview Kenyan Wikipedians
face-to-face.
I would need to confirm that I have at least 15 people to speak with who
may have interesting stories about Wikipedia to make the trip worth the
money. If needed, I could hire a translator. My understanding is that iHub
in Nairobi hosts Wiki-meetups once a month. It may be feasible to attend a
meetup there and interview people individually after that?
Please let me know what you think, I would very much like the opportunity
to represent Wikimedia Kenya in the fundraiser this year.
I am sending this message to everyone I can reach at Wikimedia Kenya.
Please let me know if there is a more formalized process to reach people.
Thank you for your time,
Victor Grigas
