[HOT] Mapping stories from the field in Uganda

[Paul Uithol]

Good evening from Uganda! After spending three weeks in Mbale and 
mapping 11 districts there, we've now moved on to Tororo, another town 
in the east, close to the Kenyan border.

One of the students we've worked with from UCU Mbale, Hillary Musundi, 
has written an amazing story on his experiences mapping with us. Please 
read the full story at

"When I was first told about mapping, I thought it was something to do 
sitting indoors on your laptop. Well, it’s also a bit like that, but 
little did I know the adventure that awaited me. I quickly got 
acquainted with the whole mapping process after the training we received 
on the first two days. Earlier I had met Douglas Ssebaggala who had 
showed us how to use OpenMapKit and JOSM. I just couldn’t wait to start 
my journey in the world. After the training, I felt I was ready."
