#unmappers — Public Fediverse posts

🎉 Our Mapper of the Month for September is Fortunatus Ogwachi from Kenya 🇰🇪

Fortunatus was one of participants of the Youth Climate Mapping Externship* initiative in Kenya, and the top mapper of the cohort group.

We asked Fortunatus about his experience in the externship, his goals to strengthen his open mapping skills, and advice for new mappers to grow in the community.
