[GamChix] GAMCHIX_UTG-ITCA Mentorship and Collaboration Program

[Marie Ellen Chery]

Hello everyone
Hope we all doing good?  Well still on the issue of mentorship and outreach, I have an idea to share too.
One of our sisters, Amie Njie is running a program with kids called kidscoders. They usually meet every fridays and sundays. 
I have discussed with her so that she can arrange a session for us with these kids ( about 8_ 9 years).  I would like about 2 more free members to join me to go talk to these children on safe borowing and the bad side of the internet by next friday at 5pm.
Hope this sounds good??? 
I believe that each or a group should be able to do an actvity and report back by this meeting. 
Seekibg permission from the programs and activities coordiator too??? Lol.

Thanks

 Dear
 All,
 I
 hope this email finds you all well and are all having a
 pleasant week thus far? 
 A big thank you to all those who
 attended last Sunday`s meeting. I believe it was a very
 productive meeting and those who could not attend for one
 reason or another will realize it when the minutes are
 sent. 
 During
 the meeting, one of the major points raised was to start
 organizing programs/activities that way we can be more
 "marketable" or accepted by other organizations
 for future collaborations. 
 One
 of the best ways of doing this, as it was mentioned in the
 meeting, is to organize symposiums, talks,mentor-ship
 programs. etc. at schools,the University and the
 like.
 Luckily
 for us, we have amongst us the current president
 of the UTG-ITCA (Fatou Ceesay) who has informed us that the
 UTG is having
 new intakes in the school and she is willing to educate them
 about GAMCHIX during the orientation. i believe her
 being a member of both organizations will make this process
 a seamless one. (see
 her email below).
 @
 Fatou Ceesay, you have the green-light to talk to the
 students about GAMCHIX and what we are about. I can assure
 you that you have the full support of the group as i am
 positive that they will all
 agree with me that it is a good
 initiative to work with the Computer Science Association of
 UTG (ITCA).
 
 
 
 
 That
 being said, i suggest we create a working
 group(sub-committee under PAC & PRO) that will work with
 her on this. It will be great to have volunteers to assist
 with this and make it become a reality as our first
 project. 
 A
 great week-end ahead to you all!
 Kind
 Regards & Best WishesEsther

 Thank You
 Alagie.
 I have a reflection on the last GamChix
 meeting,
 Firstly I will like to express my delight for
 getting to meet most of you at the meeting, was
 overwhelmed with the readiness the team showed on achieving
 its objectives and making this year a
 difference.
 I will like to comment on one of the projects or
 activities Gamchix is planning to embark on as discussed in
 the meeting;
  Mentorship Program: As suggested by
 someone in the meeting that GamChix should start
 collaborating with other  tech association in which
 UTG-ITCA was  mentioned. I think this is a great
 opportunity for both parties. And am suggesting that Gamchix
 can start its mentoring exercise with the student in the
 school of ICT, as we are having new intakes in the
 school,this could be the first group  GamChix can start
 mentoring.
 To what I have observe and experience as a
 student at UTG and specifically in the school of ICT, Most
 of the students that register to student in the school have
 small or no idea of what they expecting and the different
 opportunities in the field. This will really be a guidance 
 for most of  the students. 
   As the president of the UTG-ITCA 
 facilitating this wont be a problem, So please lets have
 this discussed and let me know asap, before  our school
 orientation which might take place early next week, where I
 and my executives will be meeting them.
 And my sincere apology for not raising this
 suggestion at the meeting ground. It would have been the
 best place for it to be discussed.
 Warm regards.
