[SDI-Africa] Fw: Fw: Happy 100th issue SDI-Africa newsletter!

[Kate Lance]

Thank you to everyone who has sent words of appreciation.  And I hope those on the list don't mind the 'flood' of emails.  I suspect after these kind words, the list will revert back to just me sending messages. :(
(you realize, of course, that I had to put in my two cents, and remind everyone that all are welcome, anytime, to share news, highlight an event, or point to an interesting report or article) 

Please note as well that the current SDI-Africa newsletter Editor is Gordon Ojwang’ at the Regional Center for Mapping of Resources for Development (RCMRD) in Nairobi.  Thanks should go to him too for taking on the challenge and running with it!

Also, I'd like to emphasize that it has been GSDI Association who has supported the continued production of the SDI-Africa newsletter.  Actually, the newsletter initially got off the ground with support from USAID, and then the GSDI Association stepped in after a couple of years, and has been committed to the effort ever since.  As projects come and go, it is a big deal that this newsletter is now in its 9th year.

Regards,
Kate

SDI Africa,

Congratulations SDI Africa, what a good job Kate you are doing.
I am a fresh college graduate holding a diploma in Technology Geo-informatics from Kenya Polytechnic University College(Kenya). I have tried securing 
a job as a GIS Technician in different organisations but without much success, are there any organisations offering jobs to diploma graduates?

Kindly assist.

Regards,
Ephraim Mageria (Kenya)

Congratulations on this impressive achievement! The SDI-Africa newsletter has led me to my former 2 jobs and is still very important for me/us in many ways. Thanks Kate and all other contributors for keeping this up!

The SDI-Africa newsletter, published since May 2002, surpassed the 100th issue mark last month, quietly, without fanfare.  However, if you are inclined to 'applaud' this major milestone, please send a message now to the SDI-Africa list to mark your appreciation of GSDI's effort -- and feel free to comment on ways in which the SDI-Africa newsletters have been useful to you.
