Nom: Beyond Good Intentions
Site web: http://www.beyondgoodintentions.org
Description :
We are currently living in an age where endemic poverty, natural disasters, and war are defining factors in the lives of much of the world's population. However, we are also living in an age of extreme generosity in which the desire to help others who are less fortunate is quite strong. Perhaps even you have been compelled to donate your time or money to help people in remote parts of the globe. But have your good intentions been enough to produce effective changes for those who need it most?

BGI is creating a documentary film with footage from ten different countries over the course of a year including Colombia, Peru, Argentina, India, Cambodia, Laos, Indonesia, Madagascar, Mozambique, and South Africa. We are actively seeking out effective examples of international aid and inspirational humanitarians who are making the world a better place through their work.

Our film will document a remarkable journey of discovery as we attempt to answer the question, "What really works in international aid?"

To offer undergraduate students an opportunity to explore this question themselves, BGI is in the preliminary stages of developing a university-level course on approaches to international aid and development. The course will utilize multi-media materials like the film. Students will have an opportunity to actively engage in the field as well as contribute to scholarship, understanding and information on what work's in international aid and humanitarian work through a field-research internship component.
