Hi all,
Wikimedia projects would not be possible without the work of the countless volunteers, passionately working on bringing free knowledge to the world. This month we Wikicelebrate https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Communications/WikiCelebrateone of such volunteers: Donatien Kangah (User:Papischou), a Wikimedian from CĂ´te d'Ivoire, editor of French language Wikipedia, a community leader active on local, regional, and global levels, a huge football fan, and the co-creator of the Wikimedia Community User Group CĂ´te d'Ivoire.
Donatien is an experienced Wikipedia trainer, and a member of Wikifranca micro grant committee. He supported Wikimania through his activity in the scholarship committee, worked in the capacity building group for Movement Strategy and collaborated with communities from Senegal, Togo, Chad and Guinea. Most of his engagement is connected to the Community User Group CĂ´te d'Ivoire, which he co-founded and which he now leads.
For Donatien the value of editing lies in learning through sharing. âEach act of sharing knowledge in Wikipedia is about checking sources, discovering new facts. Even if I already know a lot about the topic, I discover new facts in sources. It is like swimming in information. Sharing knowledge is not a passive process, it is a constant discovery. Through contributing I have learned a lot about my country, Africa and the world. Editing allows you to grow through givingâ, says Donatien.
