The first group that went had the task to eradicate extreme poverty and hunger. Their project stood out from the others and was more effective for three reasons: it was organized, background research was evident, and it took the "solution" one step further. Their presentation was guided by their webpage that they created. Its plan was simple and easy to follow with no "frilly" fonts or distractions. Each group member spoke equally and held their own. When confronted about the communication issue in Haiti, the group member replied intelligently rather than being submissive. The background research was evident because of the statistics and their focus on Haiti. They must have researched other places where poverty is prevalent (places like Sub-Saharan Africa come to mind), but the fact that they narrowed it down strengthened their point. They also offered a solution; they offered more than one solution (which is obviously needed). Their solution was to create jobs. If they would have stopped there, it would have been cut and dry. However, they present ways HOW to create jobs...such as tourism, or planting the jatropha plant. I am especially intrigued with the plant idea because I think it fits well with this class--solutions that are not banal, natural, sustainable, etc.
