You see that? That's Megan. When I signed up for this Harvest of Hope program (which is part of Society of St. Andrew) I also signed papers saying that she would pretty much be capturing everything I did for an entire week. She's listed on the website under "public affairs" so I'm assuming the idea is to get us in photographs and on video in order to get the word out about the program and ultimately obtain more funding and volunteers. I wouldn't mind doing something like that for a nonprofit. In fact, I don't really see how it's all that different from what I do in relation to bands.
I'm assuming this article and this video were somehow made possible by her.
Also, if there was any doubt as to my studying nonprofits on the trip, please note that last paragraph:
Some say their faith brought them here. Others are interested in careers with non-profit agencies like the Society of St. Andrew. However, those like Thompson voice the same concern for others as their main motivation for giving up R&R time for a higher purpose. “I feel that we need to take care of this planet. I feel that we need to take care of our brothers and sisters. If we don’t, who will?”
