    <font face="Calibri">Hi Jeff,<br>
      <br>
      As Rebecca mentioned, we are currently working on a project in
      Liberia indeed! Which I'm managing, and I'm actually in
      Gbarnga/Ganta at the moment together with David Luswata. This
      project focuses mostly on supporting local gov't in Gbarnga, Ganta
      and Zwedru in collecting and using geodata for urban planning and
      service delivery, in close collaboration with local partners such
      as LISGIS and the Ministry of Internal Affairs.<br>
      <br>
      I don't think we'll actually get to Maryland county (where Harper
      and Pleebo are), but I have been in contact with an NGO (Partners
      in Health, <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.pih.org/">http://www.pih.org/</a>) that has a presence there and is
      interested in mapping to support their operations. I'm hoping your
      objectives would align quite well, and I'd be happy to chat more
      on how we can setup remote mapping for these areas (providing road
      networks/building outlines) and work on getting more local
      knowledge/ground truthed data in for this county.<br>
      <br>
      best,<br>
