What is represented in these webpage is a small snapshot of the findings, and does not represent the skills and knowledge transferred within the workshop. We trained 13 people basic skills in GPS handsets and GIS Software. We mapped 24 Krio Board Homes in the Pademba Road and 14 (out of 20) Hill Station homes. This number of homes is a small fraction of the number of Krio and Colonial homes there are across Freetown and Sierra Leone.

These webpages do not do justice to the group and individual effforts for preparation put into the workshop by AFO and the MRC.

This workshop was planned over a period of 8 months by AFO and the MRC. The Ebola crisis meant that much of this workshop had to be re-planned and most of it last minute.

This workshop was the collective efforts of many individuals, listed below in no particular order of importance.
