Hi folks, We have been running the <a href="https://wiki.ushahidi.com/display/WIKI/Deployments+of+the+Week">Deployment of the Week </a>program for over a year. <br><br><font color="#000000"><b>How it works:</b></font> <font color="#000000">The
 goal is to recognize deployments, deployers, teams  of deployers, 
individuals, communities featuring Ushahidi and  Crowdmaps that do 
one or more of the following:</font>

<ul><li><font color="#000000">Builds  community and teamwork</font></li><li><font color="#000000">Location - maps from around the world</font></li><li><font color="#000000">Your choice</font></li><li><font color="#000000">Showcase/expand the open  source software (new themes or code)</font></li>

<li><font color="#000000">Demonstrate unique or timely topic, be  active</font></li><li><font color="#000000">Community outreach</font></li></ul><br>Help us choose this week&#39;s Deployment.
