[HOT] Copy/paste to help support HOT this holiday week

[Tyler Radford]

Hi all,

We're down to the last 10 days in the HOT 2015 funding campaign at
http://donate.hotosm.org

If you've been waiting to make that last-minute gift to HOT, now is a great
time! And, if you file a tax return in the US, your contribution to HOT can
be deducted if made by Dec. 31.

While a donation of any amount is immensely helpful, there's another way
you can contribute: Simply by sharing the amazing work you do with a friend
or family member. Feel free to copy/paste from below (adapted from your
tweets & posts!)

Hi Friends!

I do not talk about it very often, but during disasters I help create maps
that get the right people and supplies to the right place at the right
time. And I do it all from my computer. How?

Believe it not or not many places around the world are not mapped. That
means local communities can not plan for disasters, can not control local
development and governments and other NGOs can not easily provide things
like health and sanitation services. In addition, when disasters do strike,
responding organizations are hampered by the lack of maps and map data.

The organization I volunteer with is called @Humanitarian OpenStreetMap
Team (HOT). HOT lets anyone capable of using a web browser contribute to
disaster relief by mapping a vulnerable area online in OpenStreetMap. HOT
also works around the world to not only help local communities generate
maps and map data, but to infuse mapping, cartography and geographic
information systems skills into the local community in a sustainable way so
they can keep adding to and maintaining their map data in the future.

Check out the impact these maps are having in this video:

Please share! The more people who know about our work the more volunteers
we get and the more we can accomplish.
