Hi everyone, as former EUROSHA EU Aid Volunteer, I can just say it was an immense pleasure to be part of such great experience. I always keep thinking and speaking about it! Thank you to all of you HOT guys, especially Sev and Nicolas who strongly supported us. Hopefully, the international community will keep investing in the use of mapping tools for humanitarian purpose. Good luck guys with the great job you are doing for the ebola response! All the bestIolanda

But truly you and the other mappers from the EUROSHA project made it easy for Sev and I to find the energy, stamina to work with you starting and growing OSM in those countries through paid and a lot of voluntary time. These are for me fantastic memories still acutely vivid and energizing, so again, thanks and congrats for this collective engagement of you Eurosha mappers. Hopefully, in the EU, we through EUROSHA opened a way that other volunteering organizations will continue exploring and adopting like VSO, Ideally, those experiments will feed into the World Humanitarian Summit and the on-going open dialogue on changing the aid system at play within the large humantarian and development communities.
