Hello dear colleagues wikipedian,

I'm planing to visit Ghana from the 1st to the 21th of September for my socio-anthropological phd thesis.

During this time, I would like meet some wikimedia user group members for participating on activities and daily live. I would like also have contact with people involved on Open Street Map project.

So, I send you this email trying to receive some help for my venue and my thesis research.

In the other hand, from Belgium, I need a visa and for this visa, the Ghana embassy ask me for names and addresses of references in Ghana.

Could I use names and addresses of some of you as references for my visa application ?

Best,

Lionel Scheepmans
