they sound interested and there is a potential to host a work shop to 100 students (class 6 to 10th) on Saturday 21st jan. let me know if any support in form of take away's (t shirt/badges/printed faq booklet etc) that cd be possible for this. also pls community members if few of us could connec to plan properly
for this.
We shall plan this. Since we already have few Odia wiki community members in Cuttack/Bhubaneshwar it is easy to organize this workshop. So we shall discuss this in wiki and take this forward.
I remember Subhashish and few Odia wiki community members created an FAQ booklet earlier. It might require some update. Definitely we can reuse it after the update.
also siju is it possible to mail me foundation official doc as cover
letter/introduction letter in about the Wiki workshop targeted to schools. i think mentioning the success of tamil /Malalayam school programme can be of help too. i ll take this to school authority with a event poster may be for generating interest .
Let me discuss this. I come back to you regarding this.
Best wishes for all the efforts of Odia wiki community members to build its community. We definitely need more programs to attract more Odia speakers to Odia wikipedia and its sister projects.

About the official letter head, we can use the wiki.wikimedia.inletterhead, I'll soon send a formal letter addressing the head teacher of
the school. Pls check if the adressee's designation in the following format is correct or not:
The Headmaster Secondary Board High School Cuttack, Odisha - *PLEASE LET ME KNOW THE PIN CODE*
Let me discuss this. I come back to you regarding this.
Best wishes for all the efforts of Odia wiki community members to build its community. We definitely need more programs to attract more Odia speakers to Odia wikipedia and its sister projects.
