As of this week, I have accumulated 60 hours in the field for Giving Forward. I was hoping to have more hours completed, but we started a bit late in the internship. Even with that circumstance, I believe I’m in a good position to complete the 120 hours needed for the class. As previously mentioned in the last posting, A new member was added to our team. Michael Dwyer is an experienced designer who was called upon to add more experience to our team. This was a great acquisition for Luis, Gabriel, and I, as we can now learn and absorb his knowledge, thus granting us the abilities to achieve greater work. This week was a slow week to say the least. We have our weekly meeting on Mondays, and in the meeting, Kevin, Oscar, and Michael were preparing us with some new work. It was in the earlier stages of presenting, some work ranging from video editing to banner producing. That was all that was mentioned in that meeting. A great majority of the weekly meetings are dedicated to the other side of Giving Forward, such as other interns and volunteers giving updates on their work and other activities being conducted. One of their focuses being to generate web traffic on their site, GoodBuzz. The more people who visit and interact with their GoodBuzz site, the more funds are generated. Those funds are then split 50/50, half of which goes to non profits. More information pertaining to our next assignments will be presented to us in the next meeting, hopefully.
