of the Friday and on the Saturday. Please come back to us whether these days
are suitable for you, as Danny needs to now before next Tuesday. See this link for more

Hi Danny

How does next Tuesday (O3-07-2012) in the afternoon say 15h00 sound for you? We can get a
contingency to meet with you at your offices with a proper presentation for the project.
We currently have two Project documentation, one on  Social development focus of the
project and the other on Logistics and budgeting.

We would be happy to present these documents so that you can appreciate the latent
potential of this project going forward.

Kindest regards

Good Afternoon Mr. Goulkan

I trust that you are keeping well. As per attached e-mail, RE:
Introduction of Wikimedia-ZA and Wiki Loves Monuments 2012.

I would really love an opportunity to discuss a possible joint venture with the NHC.

Kindest regards

Dumisani Ndubane

  Good Morning Mr. Mdikane

 It was a pleasure talking to you over the telephone this morning.

 Wikimedia-ZA is a non-profit organization and a South African Chapter 
 of Wikimedia Foundation, the volunteers who brought Wikipedia and 
 other wikimedia projects.

 We are organizing a picture contest to be held in the heritage month 
 of september this year. The aim of the contest is to raise publick 
 awareness about Heritage sites and monuments in South Africa.

 People from all provinces and walks of life will be invited to take 
 photographs of provincial or national heritage sites and then upload 
 these to Wiki Commons, a data base of free images to can be accessed 
 and used by everyone.

 South African Monuments and heritage sites are poorly covered in 
 wikipedia (The fourth most accessed website worldwide). We intend to 
 change this with the photo competition.

 We would love to meet with you or your collegues at the NHC to discuss 
 possible partnership going foward not only confined to this 
 competition but many other projects. We are very interested in your 
 planned collaborative wiki on historical heritage shared with other 
 African countries and institution in Africa and we believe that we are 
 well placed to be of some assistance in getting this project going as well.

 We would love to meet some time next week to discuss these 
 possibilities in person. My contact details are as follows:

 Tel (Work): (011) 608 5000
 Cell:           (078) 019 3020
 e-mail:        dumisanin(a)iburst.co.za

 Looking foward to hearing from your office.

 Kindest regards

 Dumisani Ndubane
