Dear Open mapping community around the globe.

We have lost a giant, young Mapper Godwin Mulungu. He joined Local knowledge Mappers Executive this year and he has been a very active map via YouthMappers.
Rest in peace

Today, we had a very great event to support of partner the UN Mappers.

Thank you for joining, it was ana amazing event, full of participations.
