Great news! I’ve been following Ushahidi’s activities since January and always haul it out as an example when people ask me how the internet can contribute to world changing beyond just awareness raising and education.

Thanks!

Great work and great news. I love Justin Hartman’s “people turning goodness into something worthwhile.” Yes that’s what it’s all about.

Thanks for all the well-wishes everyone.

@Mark – good suggestion from a great designer. 🙂 I’ll see what we can do about that idea, especially on the homepage.
