Hello guys,
As part of our out programmes I suggest we should contribute
to the Cookbook in Wikibooks. You can check it out here
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Cookbook:Table_of_Contents
We will also strive to get listed here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_recipes
Now with this project I am trying to enlist the help of Mrs.
Yvonne Nduom wife of our own Paa Kwesi Nduom. I chose Mrs. Nduom because I have
followed her Facebook page for a while now and she is very keen on Ghanaian
recipes. She posts about them on her official page.
Also being a woman public figure with such an interest she
will be the best person to also endorse the Cookbook on Wikibooks. She is
likely to participate because I think this also good for her public outreach in
support of her husband’s campaign.
What’s more, food blogging and writing is currently
trending. I believe it will be a worthy cause.
My plan is simple, after our outreach in Accra (I hope you
have informed yourself on this) students in Achimota School and Accra Girls
will be selected to collect articles from Mrs. Nduom. They will work with her
with supervision from a team member. Mrs. will create a Wikimedia account and (become
a Wikimedia of course) and she will contribute the recipes all in her name to
her credit.
We will seek permission from her to use her name on our social
media platforms to make some noise about getting aspiring first ladies on board
our outreach.
At the end of the day, PWMGH wins, Mrs. Nduom wins,
Wikimedia wins, Ghanaian content on Wikimedia wikis also win.
If it is successful and other aspiring first ladies are
interested, more culturally diverse recipes will make it to Cookbook and Ghana
wins some more.
End of project.
Kindly let me know what you think.
Tasks: Ato any
advice?
Oral can you help
me write a letter to Mrs Nduom?
Rex should I add
this to the grant?
Georgina, Kweku, Roy
and co you have been quiet what do
you think? Will you volunteer time for meetings with Mrs. Nduom if she gives as
the nod and come with me to Motown and Accra Girls?
