[HOT] #MapLesotho 24 Hour Mapathon

[Ciarán Staunton]

The Students at Portmarnock Community School  have come up with a novel
idea to raise funds for their charitable and developmental endeavours in
Lesotho and this is to spend an entire 24 hours doing #MapLesotho, having
already gathered sponsors for the endeavour.

Last year Anbhu, Colin and Oliver really mastered mapping on openstreetmap
and are now demonstrating it to the fourth year group on a peer basis.
These students have already had introductory sessions using the LearnOsm
template, and tomorrow is the opportunity for them to map for a longer
session. The group who are mapping will be travelling to Lesotho in
February 2016 to hopefully put the finishing touches on a computer lab for
the pupils at Ha Hlalele School, and of course (!) start teaching
openstreetmap.

The Mapathon kicks off at 08.00 GMT Friday and runs until 0800 GMT
Saturday. Big cheers using the #MapLesotho hashtag as they begin and end
their work validating on http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/1169#. Can you
help out? You can validate, or hoover up invalidated tiles with fixes.
