So far state of Map Africa has always being the most exciting event, since I initially attended one in 2018.Great appreciations to all the organizers, you guys are really doing an amazing job.

I do believe we all know something but we all don’t know everything, thus worthy learning everyday. I just can’t ignore SOTMA for its contribution in my knowledge and skills on GIS and mapping a large, since it has always played a big part in highlighting me with new knowledge every time I get to attend the conference.

This year I was not so lucky to attend all the sessions in SOTMA but still for the sessions I managed to, it was worthy attending. Special thanks to all the speakers of the conference mostly especially OMDTZ, Laura, Tony John and Enock you guys highlighted me a lot.

Am glad that got some experience in doing validation,the work i faced made me realize the mistakes that i also used to commit,that i assume they were very hectic to the validators. Hoping to gain more experience in mapping and validation.

The club in the institute of rural development planning has managed to open up new doors in my life,and inspite of that it has help me get answers of so many unknown questions in my head.

Thus i will be looking forward to participate effectively and efficiently, so as i can gain more knowledge and skills to be able to stand and influence others on the importance of mapping in their community.
