As I finished my project this week, I must say that it was fairly difficult. Deciding what I wanted to do my project on took awhile. However, I did find a great organization, Share Your Soles (SYS), that helps to supply shoes around the world to children and adults in impoverished countries.
What I wanted to address is the need for shoes, something that we all take for granted, in impoverished countries for both children and adults. I think it would make the presentation hit home more if I would have included video that shows children speaking on how just a simple pair of shoes has changed their life. I do like that fact that (I hope) my presentation grabs the audiences' attention at the beginning by asking a question and drawing them into the presentation. I showed what SYS is all about on most of the slides, providing shoes to those in need. So most of my slides are just pictures that evoke emotion in the audience and will hopefully get then to donate or volunteer to the Share Your Soles cause.
I had the pleasure of evaluating Sabrina Mirtcheva's presentation. Sabrina's presentation was on OLPC, One Laptop Per Child, and has a similar cause to my organization in my presentation. She did a great job explaining the cause of the organization. Her presentation flowed well from beginning to end, however, it did need more to grab your attention right at the beginning. I learned from her presentation that for important causes when you are asking for donations, money and/or volunteers that it is important to grab your audiences attention and get them to emotionally connect with what you are presenting right away. The only other thing I believe that was missing was more on how to help or donate to the OLPC cause. Other than that, Sabrina's presentation was well stated and clearly presented.
I hope that my presentation evoked the audiences emotion and clearly stated what Share Your Soles is all about and why their mission is important, as well as how you can help donate to their cause! Please click on the link below to view my Share Your Soles presentation. Thanks!
