some deeper research.

kept cutting out and you couldn’t
understand her very well.

contributing too.

14. What I did not
like
• All she listed bellow her video
was only an “about me” short
story and didn’t enclose a
whole lot of details about the
project it was pretty vague.
• Her video was extremely
unprofessional and she didn’t
present herself very well.
• There wasn’t a lot of
reassurance that the money
was going to a good cause and
that she would be productive.
• She also didn't’t share much
experience from when she
visited South Africa.
