Hello,
we just finished the print design for the first proper transportation
map of Managua: http://support.mapanica.net/
There are only four days left until our crowd-funding initiative is
over (31 of January) and we are only $1500 short from reaching our goal.
Please consider supporting us now and get rewarded with your paper
map or cool T-shirt with Managua's public transport map build out of
OpenStreetMap data and collected by people that want to make a change
in their community by the use of Free Technologies.
We also appreciate any help spreading this message to your friends
and over social media.
Thank you!

Dear all,
thank you all so much for your support!
Currently, we are working hard to finish the print design and print
hopefully soon. We want to give a map that simplifies live and
reduces pollution back to the people in our city.
We are about to get to half of our goal. Now we would like to make
the second half.
If you speak Spanish and you want to know more about our activires,
I invite you to read about our last year's community on mapping with
children on the carribean coast:

As noted to Samuel (directly) I can send his donation (and handle
the transaction with him) as I assume/think that Haiti is not on
the list due to Paypal limitations.
As for others:
*I'd like to challenge those that can to donate to this project.*
Here's the challenge:
While I've already contributed $100 myself I will donate up to
another $200 in $50 chunks for each contributor who donates $100 or
more.
Please let me know if this challenge inspires you to donate and let
me know if so, and I'll pitch in $50 more for your donation (for up
to 4 donations for touch base with me first).
Cheers,
-Jaakko

Hi all,
You might remember Felix's email from a few weeks ago about the
project he and local mappers in Managua self-organized to
map the
city's 380 km of bus routes.
It is really an amazing story and accomplishment and will
make a big
difference in the lives of well over 1 million people who
depend on
the public transit system in Managua and never had a map of
routes or
stops before now.
He wrote up a blog post for HOT about it:
https://hotosm.org/updates/2016-01-07_a_crowd_sourced_public_transportation_map_for_managua
And as you may or may not remember, now that they have the
routes and
stops fully mapped, they need to design a printed transit
map and
produce an initial run of 20,000 copies so the people of
the city can
really benefit.
76% of the population of Nicaragua lives on less than USD
$2.00 per
day, the only chance most of them will have to make use of
this new
transit system map is if it is printed and distributed in
the city and
on the buses.
Felix and HOT are running a donation site to fund the
design and
production of the printed maps with a goal of raising
$7,500 for the
initial 20,000 print run.
This is a great chance to directly affect the lives of over
a million
people in a way that no one has been able to accomplish in
years of
trying (see the blog post). OSM Nicaragua did it on their
own, please
help them finish the job and get this map printed and into
the hands
of citizens who need it:
http://support.mapanica.net/
And please tweet the HOT blog post or retweet OSM
Nicaragua's tweet:

Blake
