Re: [Wikimedia Kenya] project proposal

Hi guys, thought's from a Mozillian on the school's project. ________________________________ From: Victor Karanja Nyambura <vickyjr88(a)yahoo.co.uk> To: mozilla community <community-kenya(a)lists.mozilla.org> Sent: Wed, January 19, 2011 3:59:15 PM Subject: Re: project proposal Hi people I would like to advice on the target audience of the wikipedia project. It is not a good idea to focus on schools without internet only. It would be better if we implement the same in schools with internet connection too. It is evident how unreliable school connections can be and in the case of having the wikipedia app the scholars will suffer less in such an occurrence. On the same note some of the students have personal computers at home which hardly have internet connection and it would be nice offering this resource.

We start our end of semester exams in the second week of March so I hope the date won't be pushed further into March otherwise I won't be able to come. So FIRST week of March is OK for me.

Yah, Abbas and Mugo have a point. I see this happening around the second week of February. Though I see the predicament facing Oscar and Sarah who are currently doing their attachments. Any suggestions on this are welcomed. Guy? On Mon Jan 17th, 2011 6:45 AM PST Abbas Mahmoud wrote: >I also think that May is too late.

[Wikimedia Kenya] Carolina for Kibera
by Alex Wafula 17 Jan '11

17 Jan '11

Hi guys, I got to visit Carolina for Kibera (CFK) yesterday along with Dennis, Mr. Ting and Jon. They have several initiatives set up in Kibera slums to aid in the improvement of the livelyhood of people living here. They included a girls center, sports center and a clinic. We got to visit the clinic which receives an average of two hundred patients per day. All patient information is processed and recorded by a networked computer based system and I must say as an IT student, I was impresed. At first glimpse you can't tell the high level of activity and organization going on within until you get a tour. CFK will be marking it's 10th anniversary this April and would appreciate Wikimedia Kenya's (unchapter) presence during this time. They'd also like us to assist in writing articles about their projects. It's been a while since my last article so I guess this is a good opportunity for me to get going again. I'll post updates regarding this once I receive word from Jeff (one of the guys working at CFK) in relation to their anniversary and articles. Ps: from a partnership with a Netherlands NGO, they got access to a mobile computer lab (within a bus) powered by solar; how cool is that!!! Being the 15th, a happy anniversary to Wikipedia!! Cheer, Alex.
