Is been a long time. :D
Two weeks ago I was at Mobile Web Ghana in Madina, for Peace Corps Ghana's #hackmalaria hackathon.. The hackathon was in collaboration with Mobile Web Ghana and Coders4Africa.
Malaria still remains the number one killer in Ghana.
#Ghana has around 3.5 million reported clinical cases of #malaria with nearly one million of those being children under 5 #hackmalaria

As a newbie developer (Always a newbie huh! :-D). I was very glad meeting advanced and newbies like myself at this hackathon.
During the hackathon we were also joined by Patrick Choquette and Matthew McAllister of Peace Corps’ Department for Innovation in DC via Skype-in during lunch to show their support.
I was glad to say hi to Patrick via Skype too :-) thanks to Peace Corps Mapdown and other OpenStreetMap related projects; such 2014 West Africa Ebola Response :-). If you want to help create a free digital map of Ghana and the world then let's talk, so I can help you get started!
Meeting new people is no exception to hackathons, I was glad to see some good old friends and meet new ones too.
Thanks to Lynda you can read all about this hackathon here
It was great and fun!
Thanks to PCV Ghana, Joshua Kim, Selorm, MWG, SWAT and everyone who made this a success!
