It was my first attended anniversary of Wikipedia which was organized by Wikipedia Nepal. Event was organized at Siddhartha Cottage at 4pm, 15 January, 2014. Ganesh Sir, Saroj Sir, Krish Sir, Shrijana Mam and Kirsh sir Mrs (sorry I can't remember her name). Before I reach the venue all was set over there. After some minutes of arrival all other candidates start to join the event.
Program start with the warm welcome from the Saroj Dhakal. He welcome our honorable guest were Prof. Tulsi Diwas, Sulochana Manandhar Dhital , Lochan lal Amatya and Nama Raj Budhathoki to take the sit. Later he introduce some past events organized by the Wikipedia Nepal which are Wikipedia education program, Women edition, Wiki love monuments. In this event I was only one of the graduate from the Wikipedia Education program which was held in Islington college.
After that ganesh poudel start to give small introduction, than start to teach how to contribute in the Wikipedia. Now only contribute in Wikipedia he also shows a video created by krish dulal on how to make a new account on Wikipedia. Which was similar and practical that was told by ganesh Sir told.
Next Mr. saroj called on Mr. Krish Dulal and his spouse who were top contributor in Wikipedia Nepal. They share there experience and share their story on how they start to write in Wikipedia ? How they influence to write in Wikipedia?
Later, Prof Tulsi Diwas gave a inspiring and entertaining presentation. He start to motivate our work because of our hardwork and selfness towards our work also he said "Sharing knowledge is best thing that any human can give to other". He give us a good example of giving i.e. of witch, In Nepalese society with is considered as a bad people but in context of education witch is greatest teacher because when witch died she transfer her knowledge to her student in this way witch knowledge is still transferring from old generation to today's generation which we also must practice. Education is only things which we can give more and more to others we do not need to be worried because education can not be theft by anyone.
Next, our another honorable guest Sulochana Mam give a presentation, while giving presentation she created a new account in Wikipedia. In event after making a account she share her one of the books in Wiki books under the license of creative commons and also she told she will introduce her another book to wiki books as soon it will be ready.
Coming to next Locan lal Amatya make clear on why open education is important and how wikipedia is helping to the students and every one he also flash back his teaching days where he used to read all the content from wikipedia and next day he teach to the class and students used to get surprise by saying sir knows all.
Coming to the end of event cake was ready to celebrate the event. There were two cakes Veg and Non Veg since line was long towards the Non Veg Cage I grab a piece of cake from Veg and start to enjoy.
Finally from this event what I learn was "Giving education is biggest things in the world".
