This document discusses several crowdfunding projects, identifying some as desirable and others as undesirable. A desirable project was #BLMTOFREEDOMSCHOOL2018 which sought to provide supplies for Canadian children to learn about Black Lives Matter. It was clear and relatable. Another desirable project was to build the RECUL Theatre and School in Romania to offer improvisation classes. It conveyed a vision and need for support. An undesirable project for the PAMBAZUKA NAISINYAI School in Tanzania contained grammatical errors and repeated information. Another undesirable project for a solar school in the Himalayas did not provide a clear breakdown of how funds would be used.

• WHERE WAS THE MONEY GOING? THEY DID NOT HAVE A BREAKDOWN OF HOW THE MONEY WAS GOING TO
BE USED FOR.
• THEY SENT SEVERAL LINKS, SO IT WAS NOT AS SIMPLE FOR THE PERSON INTERESTED TO KNOW HOW
THEY DID THINGS
• A POSITIVE THING WAS THAT THEY SHOWED WHAT THEY WERE DOING ON THEIR OWN THROUGH THE
UPDATE SECTION OF THEIR WRITE-UP
