After attending WherecampAfrica,I got really inspired what maps can do.With maps you can tell stories about your area,locality,town and city.You can update people on the kind of lifestyle,farming and many other activities including problems going in there.Like recently,I was scouting for a place where we could take food in the Ukambani.And we came across all sorts of issues from the local,from a contractor dumping stones into someones shamba to ladies who have to walk 30 minutes to get a clean source of water.If you think of it,its just human crisis and you know we can come together and alleviate human suffering."Talk of Unity is Strength".You can represent these information in many ways;but after yesterday,I joined the school of we can represent human problems in a map and maybe send the link out.Am so sure we will be able to tell the whole world how that side of the world looks like.
And I will strive to learn online mapping skills and get the world to know what happens in the areas that I will visit.
