Hello,
I've noted 27th April. I want to attend if you need my assistance. All current
activities fall under Wikimedia Outreach in Ghana so I can send over souvenirs, get you
permission to use Wikimedia Trademarks etc if needed.
For the Kasoa article, let's collaborate. We can call for edits concurrently via our
social media platforms. It's very effective.
Further emails can be sent to me via sandistertei(a)live.com and cc Rexford Nkansah --
nkansahrexford(a)gmail.com, Ato Ulzen--abocco(a)gmail.com, Oral Ofori -- oralofori(a)gmail.com.

& Other News
Thanks for sharing Sandister.
I am now seeing this info about tomorrow's training but will not be able to
make it to help me start that all important step of editing for my
classroom work.
But I am hoping to get some interested people in helping assist in
improving the article on Kasoa when they attend Barcamp Kasoa on the 27th
and move on to recruiting them. Let me know what prior arrangements I
should make in that respect.
Another barrier to my effective contribution apart from training is the
distance. But I am hoping that improves as I am almost done moving to Accra
now.
Morevim to us all.

Hello community,
*Wikimedia Outreach in Ghana*
Tomorrow there will be a Wikipedia training and *Dieu-Donné Gameli* of
University of Ghana is hosting us at the ICT center. He has done very well.
I am not certain about turnout but I am hoping we can get new members who
will either edit, or serve the community in some way.
Follow work done so far and pending ones
here<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Planning_Wikimedia_Ghana/_Events_%26…

*Enock Seth Nyamador* is also amazing. So far he is closer to a 100 edits
as a newbie. He has about 83 edits since January 2013 and most importantly
he is working on the Ewe Wikipedia. I am recommending him for a position as
an executive.
I think we should all be encouraged to support local language Wikipedia.
*Dieu-Donné Gameli* of University of Ghana is hosting us at the ICT
center. He has been great support. Without him, that platform would have
been non existent.
*Ato Ulzen Appiah* has hosted us all these months at Barcamps where
active contributors like Enock were recruited.
*Rexford Nkansah and me (Sandister Tei) *have been having trainings
before we were funded and post funding.
*Nii Abbey* hosted us at MiPROMO and has opened his doors for more
trainings with free internet etc
*Oral Ofori* linked us to Nii and he paid to ship initial souvenirs which
gave us presence in our initial campaigns.
What have you done for the community lately?

*
*Active editing*
Currently *I (Sandister Tei) have 232 edits since I joined in August 2012
and Rexford has 729 since January 2012*. There are others but I am pretty
sure for PWMGH Rexford, Enock and me have pulled our weight. Even this is
not enough because elsewhere people have 1000s.
Editing is the only way to secure our chaptership. A chapter means easier
access to facilities and opportunities to lift the internet and time
burdens we have so we can focus more on contributing. Editing is key. And
editing is so easy and comes in various forms which you can all do if only
you tried. Elsewhere, people have hundreds of thousands of edits and we can
all attempt that much. *We are aiming at 20 top editors to secure our
chapter. *Those helping in other ways, don't stop but try and click that
edit link and even check for common grammar.
We have 3 active contributors, (I stand to be corrected). We are looking
for at least 17 more. I am throwing the challenge to all of us.

*Sandister Tei has been selected to go to Hong Kong*

I applied for the conference scholarship. I got it. I think I am the only
one that applied. Next year, everyone should. It is just for 4 days and I
believe you can leave work or school for just a few days for this important
conference. But it starts with active editing and dedication to the
community.
*In other news*
Our own Jimmy Wales is competing with Larry Page for the most influential
in
technology<http://time100.time.com/2013/04/05/face-off-whos-the-most-inf…
to Time Magazine.
Jimmy started Wikipedia as you all know and his project has pushed him to
that height. Be encouraged. Wikipedia is a big deal. Commit to it and it
will pay off.
I recently went for an interview and the most impressive achievement that
I had was my work with PWMGH. It pushed me to the next level.
So assess why you are in this community anyway and inspire yourself to
contribute. We are not interested in titles, we are interested in doers.
Hopefully all should pay off soon.
Regards,
Sandister Tei
