Presentation - World Food Programme

I really enjoyed doing this project. It was a lot of work, but I learned alot about an organization I knew nothing about and that was the World Food Programme,WFP. I chose to do it on the WFP so I could learn more about them and also because they are the worlds largest humanitarian agency. I have done some traveling and you really can't understand the need until you see it first hand yourself and the impact it makes. There is nothing more heart rending than seeing a hungry child whos eyes are filled with sadness and hopelessness. We are so blessed to live in America, yet amongst all our blessings there are still 1 out of 8 children under the age of 12 who go to bed hungry every night in the US. I hope one day to possibly intern with the WFP to help make a difference. I would hate to have lived my life knowing I could have done something but didnt.

This was my first presentation ever, so I do feel that it could be improved all the way around. I was so nervous about my project that I changed it quit a few times before getting something I thought was good. I had everyone in my family view it too so they could give me their opinions. Viewing others presentations made me want to do even better on my own presentation. I liked critiquing others presentations, because it helped me see better of what to do and what not to do and it gave me ideas for future presentations.

I made my presentation in PowerPoint. I learned how to put a youtube video into my presentation and also how to edit it as well. I also learned how to publish my presentation to the web. I download like 5 new apps to my computer while doing this project, so I would be able to do what I needed to do.

One thing I was not able to do according to the Presentation Evaluation Rubric was 'say it', because I do not own a computer mic. So, I wanted to make sure that I followed all the other guidelines carefully. I made sure to not use clutter, so you could clearly understand my slides. I used photos to express my points and added music to set the mood and so there would be no dead space. I also asked questions to spark curiosity and have a link in my presentation where the viewer can go to be proactive with the cause I am presenting. I have an edited video in my presentation as well to help add definition and bring my point out even better.

This is the link to my presentation. I hope you enjoy it!
