First up, we have some dates for the last two Mini Seminars! These are especially important because they are the last ones, and there are a couple of things we need you to know. The first will be on the 2nd of July - Mr Nyantekyi will be continuing his talk on the Power of Positive Thinking. It is really really important that you come along to this one as this is the date your journals are due. We'll be needing them as part of the Programme's assessment. The second will be a week later, on the 9th of July, when Albert Ankrah will be talking to mentees about Career Development. We'd like to see everyone here for this too as it's the last session before the Awards Day (yes, we're having an awards ceremony!) Please note though, that these dates are not yet confirmed. It is possible that we will be having one of the two on the 9th of July instead. As usual, I'll update you as soon as they have been confirmed, but until then please keep your diaries free!
The second thing I'd like to talk to you about is to remind you to fundraise!!! I haven't received a call/text/email from anyone letting me know that they'll be going somewhere, so I'm guessing no one has started yet. Please please can we start as soon as possible - we've only got until the end of July to raise over GH¢30,000! We really have to pull together to manage this. And please don't forget to let me know after you've been to someone with the sponsorship letter - we'd like to keep records so we don't have too many people going to the same place. You can call, text, send me an email or even just drop a comment... anything that'll get the message through.
Third thing: the Appraisal Forms. These were due last Friday, so it's really important that I get them as soon as possible. Elinam wants you to know that if you've been having trouble meeting up with your mentees, you can fill in the form among yourselves (i.e. junior and/or senior mentors in a group). If you've met them before and have a fair idea of what they're like, you can go ahead and put some objectives down and we'll work with those. The deadline is now this Friday (18th June). You may or may not be pleased to know that we are scrapping section 3 (Interim Performance Tracking). We will be working on sections 4 and 5 (End of Programme Conversation and Review, final comments) during the last Mini Seminars, which is another important reason we'd like to see you all there.
Lastly, junior mentors in the Library and Support Team have a meeting next Friday (25th June 2010). We need to put together a concrete plan of action as to how the Library Club at Kinbu is going to run. We also need to make some headway into choosing a patron, etc. This time we're taking a slightly different approach -- come to the meeting to find out more!
I think that's all for now. Keep checking back and I'll inform you of any changes to the dates of the Mini Seminars.
Go Black Stars!!
