Mozilla Community Mobilization

As we began partnership with Limkokwing University of Creative Technology 2 years ago, Wings Firefox Club, the first officially registered club in Botswana has been hosting some extravagant events under the latter's premises.

April 15 2016 marked one of the most eloquent calendar days as Wings Firefox Club graced the school again in efforts to mobilize the community and grow Mozilla depth in Botswana. The event started with an introductory session by Firefox Student Ambassadors Mentor Oagile Moemi introducing the crowd to what we do in mozilla and the perks of becoming a Firefox Student Ambassador.

The day went on with some exquisite presence of the Founder President of Walking in Your Totality Media Mr. Tshepo Seitei giving the crowd a taste of what the new tech Mozilla movement is the thing to be. This motivational speaker motivated the crowed and wowed them to join Mozilla and kick start their careers at an early stage.

The event went on with Regional Ambassador Lead for the entire African continent Mr. Tshepo Tamajobe giving attendees the depth of how far they can go with Mozilla. This to him was an easy task as he is the most experienced FSA in Botswana and a living testimony that Mozilla can elevate someone's career so much and put them in the global arena. Tshepo Tamajobe started as just an ambassador but through persistence and ambition he went on to lead ambassadors in his school and his excellent leadership skills earned him the right to lead the program all over Africa, and the first Motswana to do so.

this highly anticipated cohort ended up with  signing up 21 new Firefox Student Ambassadors, upgrading of Firefox web browsers and distribution of swag. #MozLove

Our first partnership with "Walking In Your Totality" a motivational and inspirational organization founded by Tshepo Seitei kick started with this memorable event. Mozilla Botswana represented by myself Tshepo Tamajobe was invited through our partnership with Walking in your Totality by Mr. Ernest CEO and Founder of a local print company "Emblem Power Creations" to give his employees a brighter side of life.

We began to wow the Emblem Power Creations employee filled event with Founder of Walking in your Totality Mr. Seitei opening the podium with some dream provoking round, motivating the employees to have a more deeper and thoughtful approach to life. He motivated the crowd to act on their deepest desires to success, elaborating that attitude is equal to altitude and that it is not what you think that defines you as a person, but your execution of ideas that puts a name tag on a person's face. He further went on to make a statement and seperate himself from the boys when he wowed the audience by opening insights to his  philosophy that a person's network and net-worth are equal and therefore one should surround themselves with already accomplished people go gain some mentoring edge, making it easy to have insights in to the success world.

Standing tall, labyrinth towering the ground was Tshepo Tamajobe famously known as "The Man From Maun" or "The White Color Man", an ambassador of Mozilla Firefox tenaciously came to wave the latter a better edge and provoked some never before heard round of words. The Mozilla presentation began with some insights on Mozilla's mission of keeping the web open. As the crowd opened their ears to get all the Mozilla data, Mr. Tamajobe began to explain the perceptions about Batswana and technology issues and explain that not everything about Mozilla is a tech prerequisite. He began to explain how he became an ambassador of an American company in the first place, saying it was through his willingness to learn and utilize web resources.

My Experience as a Firefox Student Ambassador

About a year ago I made one of the most phenomenal decisions of my entire life, to join the Firefox Student Ambassador program powered my Mozilla foundation. As an FSA I had grown a lot in terms of Mozilla, its advocacy for an open and decentralized web.

I joined the program through the Mozilla wiki and acquired a lot of skills and knowledge about Mozilla, its products and the web at large. I became a Firefox club lead, the first in Limkokwing University of Creative Technology, in my country and am organizing events which will see me excel in public speaking, increase in my knowledge base and help ascend the skills i acquired to upcoming FSAs and the community at large.

I also got to know that there is more to Mozilla than the Firefox web browser, with products like Firefox OS, Thunderbird, Bugzilla and others I was bound to go above and beyond to join other communities like the user support forum, SUMO https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/ which saw me become a Tswana (tn) locale leader, helping users to understand these products. I also had the liberty of joining the local localization team http://mozilla.locamotion.org/

@Embassy Gaborone, Botswana’s Young African Leaders’ Initiative (#YALI) Network, and Botswana’s Ministry of Education and Skills Development (MoESD) held a three-day education reform workshop. This in-service training workshop combines leadership development, mentoring, and networking opportunities for young professional teachers. This workshop helped empower teachers to identify key challenges in their schools and to develop result-oriented projects to address those challenges. #BotswanaYALINetwork will monitor and mentor these teachers while they implement their projects.
