Today was the final #MapaTime session with #PUPSJCWTS volunteers, who are students taking up Accountancy and Education courses in their San Juan campus.
Thank you for your effort and contributions, especially to the #OSMaPaaralan school mapping project. We hope to see you again in future mapathons.
The barangay (village) government of Santa Ana in Taytay supported the effort logistically, and their mapping efforts were supplemented by #PUPSJCWTS volunteers.
The on-going task that utilizes the imagery is at https://tasks.hotosm.org/project/6228
Thank you to our #PUPSJCWTS volunteers who participated in today's #MapaTime session, who validated and mapped a total of 463 schools in #OpenStreetMap, and part of our #OSMaPaaralan project.
Typically, contributors get to add about 250 schools per month.
You may also notice that they didn't get to map anything in Palawan, only because @maningsambale finished them all last week! 😁

From a convo with #PUPSJCWTS students, "Community service" for many young people, it seems, is often associated to helping sweep or clean neighborhoods.
So when told about the #MapaTime mapping sessions, many thought they were "MOPPING" sessions
They now realized there are many ways to climb a tree, and there are other ways to improve neighborhoods, and serve communities as young #humanitarians
One week into the new term and the #PUPSJCWTS students are back for #MapaTime, and contributing to mapping tasks in the #Philippines, in particular the community mapping project in Lupang Arenda, Taytay, Rizal.
The community is using vertical and horizontal imagery collected earlier by friends of #OSMph

Thank you for lending a hand today, awesome folks!

Thank you to our awesome volunteers and supporters of #PUPSJCWTS
Meanwhile, in PUP San Juan, we're starting a new round of CWTS++ socialization, with new volunteers, and introducing #OpenStreetMap to fresh participants.
Also, somewhere in their campus, we found a map of the #Philippines, in an unknown projection. 😜 #PUPSJCWTS
