Knowledge Object #2: Video Interviews

We invite you to visit the video section of our site at http://jjhlconsultants.wetpaint.com/videos to view 3 video interviews with volunteers from Brown Bagging it for Calgary's Kids (BB4CK).

Lindsey is a first time volunteer with the organization, and we talked with her both before and after her volunteer experience to get her impressions on BB4CK and volunteerism.

David has been volunteering with BB4CK for 5 years and also serves as a board member. We talked with David about issue of child hunger, the impact of storytelling, and barriers to satellite kitchen growth.

Our third and final video is a two part interview with Bob McInnis, Director of BB4CK. Bob discusses the organization's philosphy regarding storytelling, how they determine if their stories shared are effective, and the criteria they look for when deciding which stories to share. Please share your comments and insights with us in our discussion forum.

I thought you would deal with the delicious changes, and I would do this one (?). Sorry for any confusion.
