Movirtu
Company interested in working with Map Kibera group.
This is a company working in phone sharing technology. They would like to pilot in the Kibera community and so they gave Map Kibera the mandate of mobilizing people. They need
- 3 men between 15yrs-30yrs
- 3 men between 30yrs-60yrs
- 3 women between 15yrs-30yrs
- 3 women between 30yrs-60yrs.
They will produce handsets and airtime. This is purely business and not voluntarism. There will be a long term engagement of which mapping will come sometimes in March.
Members requested to come up with the names of the nominees but there were assigned each and everybody to come with one member even some accepted to come with two members. And so they agreed to come up with names in the next meeting.
Mikel told the members the company will have meeting but he was not sure of the dates, so he asked whether there was anybody who was interested to represent the group. Kennedy Ogolla and Maurine Omino accepted to represent the group.
Documentary
Mikel also informed us of the visitors who wanted to film a documentary of what the mappers did, and so the members agreed to meet them in the next meeting and discuss that. Then on Friday Gideon Odhiambo and Kevin Boss agreed to assist them go round the street and take the actual film of the mapping.
