Hi Tommy, I am happy for this initiative. I did OpenStreetMapping of roads, rooftops, health centres, swamps and sectional boundaries of Bo City, Sierra Leone between 2012 and 2016. I also did some mapping of the road network in Kenema City.
I hope you have a national mapping plan which I I’m thinking will be really useful for researchers, planners and the city councils. Best of luck with your fundraising Kind regards Alfred Sent from my iPhone > On 28 Nov 2019, at 12:13, OSM Sierra Leone <osmsierrale...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hello > > I'm Tommy Charles a coordinator at Openstreetmap- Sierra Leone which is a > registered Non-Governmental Organization in Sierra Leone.
