Its been a busy few weeks since we kicked off plans for the #MapLesotho and there has been a lot of activity going on since my last diary post.

Plenty of activity and support showing up for our hashtag #MapLesotho with lots of people supporting this activity

Individual Mappers Taking Part

There has been a fantastic response with mappers from Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Canada, Ghana, India & Japan all signing up on an individual basis to take part.

Current Tasks

If you would like to assist, but will not be able to do any mapping on 25th July, there are currently 3 open tasks for mapping Lesotho cities Hlotse, Mafeteng and the northern part of the capital, Maseru. Please feel free to take a tile and participate in those tasks.

• Hlotse Task # 494
• Mafeteng Task # 491
• Maseru Task # 464

Spread The Word!

We would ask that people please spread the word for this mapathon as we hope to map large portions of Lesotho during it and simply put, we need a lot of people to do it.
