The maiden edition of Mobile Web Ghana\u2019s Yali Twitter chats will take place from 11am to 6pm on the proposed days and will present prospective applicants, the opportunity to directly engage with the 2016 batch of fellows.<\/p>\n
This initiative from Mobile Web Ghana aims to encourage Ghanaians to take keen interest in the annual Fellowship.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Mandela Washington Fellowship is a merit\u2013based competition, everyone has an equal opportunity to be selected and the experience is priceless,\u201d said Florence Toffa, Director of Mobile Web Ghana, who was also a participant in this year\u2019s Fellowship. Florence recounted her experience and gave the rationale behind Mobile Web Ghana\u2019s live Yali Twitter chat.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur aim for the live Twitter chat is to inspire young Ghanaians to apply for future Fellowships due to the knowledge they gain from the personal experiences of the 2016 Mandela fellows,\u201d Florence added.<\/p>\n
Mobile Web\u2019s live Twitter chat will also give the recent fellows an opportunity to share the skills they acquired during their stay in the US. Thousands of Ghanaians are expected to engage the fellows during the four-day Twitter chat sessions. This is also an opportunity to ask 2016 fellows your questions.<\/p>\n
