Dear Collab members,
We are happy to announce a new member joining the Wikipedia Education Collaborative this week. Please join me in welcoming Venus Lui from Hong Kong.
A little snippet about Venus in her own words:
I'm from Wikimedia Hong Kong, the Project Coordinator of the Wikipedia Education Program, since 2014. I'm interested in the Education Program related to literature and linguistics, as the articles related to literature and linguistics on Wikipedia are not as numerous as other topics. I have just finished the very first Wikipedia Education Program in Hong Kong and we have collected 17 new entries in the pilot program. I am planning to start the second Education Program in the coming January. I am also interested in GLAM-Wiki, and I was one of the Program Committee of GLAM-Wiki 2015. Currently, I am working on both Wikipedia Education Program and GLAM-Wiki Project in Hong Kong.
Venus has also written a newsletter post about the Education Program kick off in Hong Kong, see it here https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Education/Newsletter/June_2015/The_First_Wikipedia_Education_Program_in_Hong_Kong. Beside her other contributions to the Wikimedia movement. I'm sure she will be a great addition to the group.
Venus, we are so happy to have you as part of the Collaborative. Thank you for being part of this group and for putting your great experience to work to help others around the world in their education efforts.
Please join me in welcoming Venus.
