Hi all? I think Bruce that is such a brilliant idea and I hope we shall get the volunteers. I hope everyone is aware of the power of teachers in society! Not only educating but also their marketing skills. If they find Wikipedia for schools nice; definitely it is!, they'l spread word faster n wider which is to our chapter's advantage...therefore I think we need representatives:-)! Cheers, lilian

Hi ,Wikimedians ! i was having some talk the director of TLS &Logistics Group ,a firm mandated with setting up computer labs in schools in the country ,by the Ministry of Education .it is instructive to note that some of the schools we visited in Kakamega and Mombasa are works of their project.After an animated briefing on the state of e-learning platform in the country ,and what wikipedia for schools is all about .We observed that because TLS &Group are setting up * platform* and Wikipedia for schools are availing *content* in the former ,there are ways we can collaborate and add value to the whole thing, his team is training 100 teachers in the larger Nyanza region ,atleast that is what he said, the manner of collaboration would be that, two of the wikipedia for schools volunteers are incorporated in their training and rollout of the same they are mandated with the task of talking matters wikipedia ,in this regards he caters for facilitation and handles logistics . i requested that i consult with fellow Wikimedians and get back to him on Monday on the same. What do you guys think ?
