Kathmandu Living Labs
Greetings from the KLL Situation Room!
Today, we will give you a sneak preview on what has been happening behind the scenes on days we had not been blogging.
Indiegogo Crowdfunding
We have launched an Indiegogo Crowdfunding campaign to help us cope with the increasing demand of map and GIS for disaster response and recovery. 44 awesome people have donated 5,040 $ to our indiegogo campaign (https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/maps-for-nepal). We would like to thank all of whom have donated and shared it. We have reached 10% of our funding goal, please help us spread the campaign and create Maps for Nepal.

Why are you here? The first thing that comes up in anybody’s mind in such a time like this is, “What can I do to help?” I had the same question. This data mapping concept initiated by Kathmandu Living Labs was exactly that served my interest as I am an IT student. With no further thoughts needed, I joined this amazingly determined team to map the data collected from reporters all over the country and provide information to relevant organizations, which ultimately provides help to the victims.
I handle the approval of the reports coming into our database from the affected areas and categorize them as per their severity. I figure out what kind of help are people in different areas needing and keep a track of what action is being taken from our side by reading the live comments in the reports.
Where were you during the earthquake? I was in my room at my home, taking a short break and relaxing after doing my college assignments when the earthquake happened.
How has your experience been? The feeling of satisfaction that I am getting here is very fulfilling. Taking care of your people in any way possible is itself, greatly satisfying but as I am helping them in a direct way, there is no other feeling that comes any closer to making me happy.
