Making A Magazine

Three weeks ago an idea was thrown on paper… a week later the idea was approved for funding by EWB’s Innovation Fund… and last week that idea began to materialize! The idea was 3-fold, with one of the aspects being to create a magazine to highlight all the hard work being done by Agriculture Extension Staff & farmer groups here in Ghana!!

Last Thursday Meghan, a fellow EWB volunteer and photo-extraordinaire, came to Bongo to begin photographing the AEAs involved in the Agriculture As A Business Program.

As Meghan got them to work the camera, I handed out questionnaires which will be used to put together the AEA’s profile for the magazine! It was a successful day with almost all Bongo AEAs and staff involved photographed, and the photography session moving to other districts in the coming weeks!

So where do you come in!? Well this task is bigger than the both of us. WE NEED YOUR TALENTS!!!

We’re looking for people to help create this magazine which will be distributed throughout the agriculture sector here in Ghana, as well as used to inform Canadians of the work being done here!!!

Right now we’re looking for ANYONE who is interested in helping!

Especially people who are familiar with the following ,

• Profile Editing (Taking AEA and farmer group information and condensing them into exciting profiles for the magazine!)
• Magazine layout and design (e.g. Adobe In-design)
• Graphic Design
• Magazine content ideas

If you are familiar with the above or have any ideas, please email me at ryancjc@gmail.com !! Or even better, join the discussion group…
