    Evaluation of Humanitarian Organizations in France
    (2013-03) Blaskovich, Christie; Giusti, Ada
    Many visitors to France are interested in volunteering in the country in order to connect with the Francophone culture, while benefiting the community. However, here has never been guide written for Anglophones to volunteer France. The study of the humanitarian organizations, Secours Populaire and Willing Workers on Organic Farms (WWOOF) during 2010--‐2011 in southern France will be incorporated into a guide, being written by Ada Giusti PhD, which will provide information about the volunteer opportunities within the Francophone world. The study of these two organizations revealed the requirements, expectations of volunteers, and the effectiveness of their programs in the community. The personal responses from volunteers, directors, and the community will be included in the guide to allow future volunteers to make informed decisions about each organization.

    Computer Education in Sanambele, Mali
    (2013-03) Mosdal, Tessa; Rolph, Bronwyn; Blaskovich, Christie; Hinckley, Samantha; Giusti, Ada
    The village of Sanambele, Mali currently possesses a laptop but the villagers do not know how to operate a computer. Those in Sanambele have requested help with learning how to use their computer. I developed a basic user manual for Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint which are three programs that I believe the teachers, students and other villagers will find the most useful. An English and translated French version of the manuals will be taken to the village and left with the community for further reference. The manuals are also going to be used by the members of the Altas Cultural Foundation (ACF) in Zawiya Ahansal, Morocco. I am traveling to Morocco in March to conduct computer education workshops for the ACF members. A copy of the manuals will be left with them for additional guidance. Providing manuals for both the communities in Mali and in Morocco will prevent the members of the community from losing the knowledge they will have received. I hope I will have offered these people a lasting method of improving their education.
