Why Paul Volunteers: It is always so fulfilling volunteering for the hurricane PhotoMappers missions with GISCorps! The staff are so supportive -all virtual- and it is rewarding to be part of a cause and group, helping provide geotagged eyes-on-the-ground and visual-voices for impacted areas where otherwise would be tougher to reach or easily overlooked. I enjoy how each experience has helped sharpen my geospatial deductive reasoning skills as well as expanded my network. Whenever challenges presented, I was ever so grateful for the team’s help in resolving them. Knowing that my hard work is reaching those in need really speaks and I’m grateful to take part in the learning experiences. Looking forward to the next opportunity!
