[HOT] Overpass and schools in Mali

[Andrew Buck]

This won't actually give you useful data.  A signifigant number of the 
schools in Mali and elsewhere in Africa are not actually located in the 
town they serve, but rather about 1/2 km or so outside of the town, or 
about halfway between two or more towns. So a significant number 
actually shouldn't be in a residential area.
