We had a terrific turn out for the Kumasi meetup - thank you everyone for coming. More news will be forthcoming on outcomes and follow-up for the meeting.

HI All,

It is two days until I arrive in Ghana and my excitement is mounting.  I thought I would mention that I am in need of an assistant to help me with filming and taking photos on the day of the meetup.  I just thought I would see if anyone was interested or knew of anyone who was interested.

Thanks Zack Tucker

One of the great features of the new Kabissa site is the map of organisations in our database, accessible directly on the frontpage or full page at http://www.kabissa.org/map . It is an interactive map, so you can click anywhere on the map to zoom in to see organisations in a specific city or region before clicking on the organisation you want to learn more about.

This is the tool people visiting the site use to explore the Kabissa network and to find and get in touch with organisations they want to support, work with or learn more about.

Log in today to update your organisation contact details and make sure to specify the city, state/province and country so that you appear correctly on the map. While you are there, don't forget to verify your mission and description and other details so that you showcase your organisation in the best way possible! 

The southern coast of Spain, where I am at present, is uniquely beautiful however just to the south of Cadiz, Spain lies the African Continent.  This is a place that I feel people in Western Europe and North America still know relatively little about.  I would consider that to be true for myself, there is much that I am yet to know about this place. 

The meetup in Kumasi is approaching fast, and we are quite pleased with the progress we are making especially considering that this is the first we are organising using the new Kabissa platform. We selected the 11 organisations below to participate.. most come from Kumasi and environs, as well as a handful that have headquarters in Accra. I am intrigued at how many are "networks" or "clubs" or "associations" that appear to be organised specifically to bring people together around crucial issues.

It will be really interesting to connect them all up and to see what emerges in terms of new collaborations and knowledge sharing, all to be documented here on the Kabissa website and in Zack's documentary film.

Read on for the full list of participants and their organisations, and a copy of the email sent out to them.

It's not too late to participate - click here for the application form.
