Hi Annie, Welcome to HOT. Glad to know your background and interest. OpenStreetMap(OSM) <http://www.openstreetmap.org/about>is an ongoing project to map the world and the worldwide volunteers are always working to improve the map. OSM gained publicity as a disaster response aid in 2010 after the Haiti earthquake and the non profit Humanitarian OSM Team <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Humanitarian_OSM_Team> was formed. You are welcome to contribute to the HOT mission via Tasking Manager <http://tasks.hotosm.org/>. You can know more about HOT here <https://hotosm.org/about> and learn the OSM by following the easy tutorial given in learnsom <http://learnosm.org/en/>. Feel free to ask by hot mail-list if you face any difficulties in this regard.
