Hello all.
The grant for the Post-WMCon 17 Meeting has been given.
On July 1, 2017, 17 members of the user group who signed up for the meeting
will meet at Impact Hub Accra:
– To let community members who attended Wikimedia Conference 2017 in
Berlin, share the key things learned with the members that did not get the
opportunity to attend WMCON.
– To train members to take the promotion of Wikimedia beyond Accra to the
other 9 regions of Ghana where Wikimedia is underrepresented.
We have the Kumasi team and Northern Region and they’ll eventually spread
activities on behalf of the group into other regions.
The following members will be hosted:
*Justice Okai-Allotey (Resource Person)
* Felix Nartey (Resource Person)
* Shim Kporku
* Georgina Sitsofe Ofori
* Raphael Berchie
* Wendel Laryea
* Deborah Dzathor
* Joy Agyepong
* Shadrach Annang
* Stella Sessy Agbley
* Sandister Tei (Resource Person)
* Randybaah
Ashanti
* Mensah-Bonsu Elizabeth
* Noah Alorwu
* Usman Ibrahim Khalilulahi
Northern Region
* Mohammed, Mohammed Jaward
* M@sssly
Those in the Ashanti and Northern Region’s travel cost will be covered.
There will be meals for all and souvenirs for some members.

Hello all,
We set up a Wikipedia School Club in GIJ.
I need someone to help them plan their first workshop. And if you have
enough experience in editing I will add you as my co resource
person/trainer for the school. You will lead a workshop session.
Please contact me if you want to volunteer. First come first served.
Females encouraged. And first timers for group projects also encouraged.

Hello all.
Thank you for showing your interest in the event.
Please note that we have adjusted the date to July 1 for grant purposes. If
you can make it, we'll all benefit. If you can't that will be sad.
Please go over to the grant page to endorse
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Rapid/Wikimedia_Ghana_User_G…>.
*Please note that WMF may decide to fund this or not.* So you are to be
specific on why you deem this event necessary. Please keep out vague
endorsements.
Why should we have a physical meeting and not an online meeting instead?
Make sure you address this in your endorsements.
PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU ENDORSE IN THE RIGHT SECTION
I will send the grant for review tomorrow

Hello all. Especially resource persons and those coming in from other

If I don't get info from you as requested we will have to postpone this
