Hi Uzma, wonderful to have you with us. We had a HOT mapathon in Bangalore today to get volunteers together and teach them how to contribute. We have documented most of our instructions in a very compact document: https://datameet.hackpad.com/Nepal-Earthquake-Mapping-YDjLauUK0Ek
Please see if you find this useful. Once you have some experience you can organize and lead a mapathon at your campus. Please let us know if you require any help.
