Dear All,

I am new to this site and I think you are all doing a fantastic job and for a great cause. I am a consultant and currently in Sierra Leone (Pro-Bono). This place really needs mapping, not just for a basic need but to drive economics, pull investment, improve the infrastructure by enabling it to be visible and understood.

Without mapping it is hard to let agencies, donors, Gov, business, people, make a sound decisions, mapping is the territorial and content data that is needed for more than basic planning, far more, it allows for extensions through the data to accelerate, grow develop as you all know, and a league of great explorers throughout history have also understood, exploration today is as then an intrepid journey, however through technology with less danger, by mapping and assisting to map, you also lessen the danger of a country and its people, at the same time you give information that can change lives.

I want to make a shout out (Top of my Lungs) for all, any of you to either help or guide me on improving to map Sierra Leone; for its people, for us, as drivers, allowing dissemination of information that leads to greater things, and we are part of that process as the epitome of the modern explorer by the means that we can best utilize.

Please feel free to drop me an e-mail and have a cup of virtual tea: [email protected]
Regards,

Kevin
