This article is a to-do list for our College at the Falls (working name)
Contents
Begin thinking of possible names for the college
- A name should communicate both to Zambians and foreigners
- The name should be memorable.
- The word “Falls” may be good to include
- “Lumwana Falls” or “Muwambeji falls” perhaps? Maybe named after some characteristic plant or animal of the area
- Or maybe “Tembo Falls” hahaha Because this is our big “Tembo” and also because when we do something revolutionary we will cause a Tembo to fall down… double meaning hahaha - what do you think of that name?
- (Add your own suggestions here Nkuuli)
Begin to articulate the vision in writing
- First, tell others the vision many times until you yourself are saying it in a good way
- Begin to write it down AND recruit others (whom you have told) to write it down independently as well
- (We can compare these different versions and keep the good parts of each one)
- We need text written by Zambians as well as others.
- If there is a gap in the text - skip over it for now - we can fill it in later
- Don’t worry if you can’t answer the “How?” or even the “What?” but focus on the
- “Why do we need this?"
- Store all writing about the college at College description text
