Mapping with Tomnod

[WestCoastRunner]

If no one has ever heard of Tomnod, it's a great mapping app, that I first heard of when MH370 went down. Tomnod provides online map interfaces to engage people to view and tag different items depending on the project. Closer to home, Tomnod was used to help locate a missing hiker, Tom Billings, who went missing in North Vancouver. He has yet to be found. Tomnod's latest project is to help free child slaves in Ghana.

"The fishing industry on Lake Volta is a site of systemic modern slavery. Traffickers prey upon vulnerable families and tell parents that their children will get to attend school in exchange for a few hours of work. Instead they are sold into a life of misery and suffering; forced to work 19-hour days in deplorable conditions, likely never to see their real parents again. "

"Tomnod has teamed up with the Global Fund to End Slavery to track the location and number of boats used for fishing around Lake Volta, providing for the first time a reliable estimate of the extent of slavery in the region."

Sounds like the app doesn't work...
