Good morning all,

Happy new week!

Meetup:

The World Humanitarian Summit kicks off today in Istanbul, Turkey and you can follow the conversations on Social Media via these hashtags #ShareHumanity and #ShareData. Hacks/Hackers Nairobi will be holding a fringe event this Friday, May 27, 2016 at the Nairobi Garage from 17h30.

Co-Hosted by Code for Africa and UN OCHA's Humanitarian Data Exchange, the meetup will be a great opportunity to interact with digital pioneers who are using data and simple tech tools to transform lives across the continent. Come learn about ways you can get involved in world-changing projects and share way you are already playing a part.

RSVP here to attend and remember to share your views, findings and questions using the #HHNBO hashtag or on our event page on Facebook.

Opportunities:

At Hacks/Hackers Nairobi, it is our aim to grow our community and positively impact the society we are a part of.
