This is part of regular visits IRO pays to Posts included in her portfolio. The seminar on methodology is a program requested by the English Department and IRO Myra Brown agreed to conduct it at Post’s request. Through this seminar, students got the necessary skills to enable them to state the topic of their dissertation and they were introduced to several resources they can check for information. The seminar was initiated by IRC Cotonou and the English Department of the University of Abomey-Calavi as part of IRC Cotonou efforts regarding information literacy. The seminar was attended by more than 100 students and covered topics such as how to state a topic and how to use both traditional and online resources for information retrieval purposes. This workshop was also an opportunity for students to learn about copyright issues, plagiarism and procrastination. They were introduced to reference styles like APA and MLA. More... |

| Ambassador Gayleatha B. Brown and her guests watching the Election returns with keen interest. |
On Wednesday, November 5, 2008, Ambassador Gayleatha B. Brown hosted an election night watch party at her residence, starting at 2:00 am, to watch the U.S. election returns and to give the guests an opportunity to see the U.S. electoral system in action. At least 55 distinguished guests, including the first woman presidential candidate of Benin, the President of the High Court of Justice, former Ministers, Political Scientists, members of the local Obama campaign support committee, Benin government officials, members of the local business committee, Embassy Staff and resident Americans, attended the event.
Beninese enthusiasm for this election was high, so guests did not mind coming out in the wee hours of the morning and staying until dawn when the official announcement of Barack Obama’s election as the 44th President of the United States was made. Ambassador Brown’s residence became the venue of a big celebration and jubilation, as Barack Obama was the choice of most of our guests. The most impressive part of the program came when the new President-elect made his victory speech, preceded by Senator John McCain’s concession speech. Our guests repeatedly mentioned with admiration how amazing it was to see how quickly votes were tallied and how quickly and conciliatorily McCain conceded.
“This is a big lesson of democracy,” commented President Boni Yayi’s Special Adviser on Communication, who was also among the invited guests.
The election night ended with victory photos, cheers and congratulations to Ambassador Brown, and a well deserved breakfast. This was the first Mission-hosted election night watch event organized in such a successful and professional format.
Golfe Television, the most prominent privately owned TV station and several other TV stations including government-controlled ORTB, also hosted election night programming that was watched by millions of Beninese.
