We thought about starting a HOT tutorship program in which active members from the community would make contact with the emergent communities we helped or will help to start: </span></div>

Of course on a voluntary basis, according to their chosen field and kinship towards such or such country. </span></div>

I will create an OSM Wikipage as a starting point so that everyone can contribute. </span></b><div>
