I wish you the best of luck with that. I have seen the work done in Kibera and Mathare and have been very impressed with the maps made there. I am glad to see the skill being put to use elsewhere in the area. If there is Hi-resolution imagery available I can help you by doing tracing work (I have done a lot in Africa already) so that if you get a chance to do some surveying your time can be more effectively spent on gather "on the ground" info, rather than just doing the busy work of tracing roads/buildings.
Send me a message if there are any areas you would like traced. I will check back on this diary entry, too, to see if you respond, but the messaging system is more reliable since I am less likely to miss messages sent that way.
