NGO- Non-governmental organization- legally constituted organization that operates independently from a government; usually non-profit
Today was very uneventful. To put it bluntly, it was boring. My sponsor's wife just had a baby so he wasn't in and the last project I had been working on I completed on Thursday. I found some initiative and decided to research some of the different food aid organizations we have been discussing lately. Surprisingly, I only had the time to look over 2 of them since the information was very extensive. I ended up looking at the World Food Programme (WFP) and the World Health Organization (WHO), both of which are run by the United Nations. Each organization was extremely complex. Every aspect from researching products to use, finding out who needs them, getting them to the people and financing the entire operation was important. I've always been interested in working for the WFP and now I understand how many different avenues I have to choose from. Both organizations do incredible work to aid people in need all over the world. Donating money to either one goes a long way. WFP also has a cool program called FreeRice.com where you can take little vocabulary, history or geography quizzes. Every answer you get right donates 10 grains of rice to the WFP.
