- Abstract (up to 300 words to describe your proposal)
What does it cost for an African to volunteer? What is the attitude of African towards Volunteerism? What can Wikimedia Foundation learn about its interactions with Volunteers in Africa? Although Africa is not a country, the partens of volunteerism are similar throughout the continent. People in the continent are active volunteers to their local churches, educational institute (local school) and cultural organizations. So how come do we not have droves of willing and able volunteers for our movement?
These are some of the Questions I hope to discuss with a panel at Wikimania.
- What will attendees take away from this session?
Attendees will gain insight into volunteering patterns in the African continent, and hopefully how to better convey the movement to would-be volunteers.
