But also filling my inbox are numerous emails dedicated to how humanitarian mapping, open data and open tools are making a difference around the world every single day and how we can all do more to support that. HOT elected a new Board of Directors and I am humbled to say I was elected to the Board and as President of the organization. My colleagues on the Board are Heather Leson, Katja Ulbert-Treasurer, Jorieke Vyncke-Secretary and Dale Kunce-Vice-President. On behalf of the new Board and those members of the world wide humanitarian community that I speak with on a daily basis, I want to pass on our thanks to the OSM Community. I hear it everyday and I wish you could too. The successes I see everyday are only possible thanks to you and our fellow OSM Community members.” *Disaster Mapping - Ecuador Earthquake* The strongest earthquake to hit Ecuador in decades flattened buildings and buckled highways along its Pacific coast, sending the Andean nation into a state of emergency. HOT is supporting the response by assisting the local OSM community to engage the global volunteer community and interface with international aid organizations and imagery providers. *Updates <http://hotosm.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5191e27b207136970f2a9ec1b&id=d3d36325fe&e=5b78082f20>* *Community Building* *NARYN, Krygystan *- The Kyrgyz Mountains Environmental Education and Citizen Science project <http://hotosm.us9.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=5191e27b207136970f2a9ec1b&id=804ab64428&e=5b78082f20> aims at developing simple tools and activities for teachers to learn and conduct scientific investigations on the water resources around their village, and make the collected data publicly available.
