Kind request for support for AfroCuration South Africa event - WikimediaZA

30 Sep 2021

Hello Everyone

I hope this email finds you well. A founding member of @wikimediaigbo and
also a Wikipedian in Residence at Moleskine Foundation working on the
WikiAfrica Education project Tochi Precious,

Tochi Precious pioneered the last AfroCuration on 4th and 5th September in
Mozambique where he worked with the WMF Language Team to get the Makhuwa
language Wikipedia into the incubator. They had over 70 participants and
have created over 120 articles since then.

He wants to run his next   program in S.A, with Constitution Hill and
Harambee on the 26th and 27th of October.

I am writing this email to find out if there are any volunteers who would
like to partake and volunteer with their time on this project. This project
will train new editors to edit our language Wikipedia, and also mentor them
to become part of our user group and also knowledge contributors in our
language on Wiki.

Please feel free to let me know your user names so I can put them forward
for the event.

Kind regards

Shupai Mchuchu
