Although this video does not have still photos, it was a very moving video that I think is a great model for my final project. The way the video is timed with the audio and the use of variation between action shots and interviews both kept me interested. Most importantly, this video told a heart warming story about the connections that can be made through volunteering.

Final Project Proposal
For my final project I'm interested in researching UNH student volunteer experiences and Habitat for Humanity projects. I want to combine the experiences of student volunteers with a current build (with Habitat) in Rochester to see what this service really means to the students who participate. I have already interviewed two students, Conor McGuire and Dillon Welch, who were trip leaders for a Habitat build last week in Lucedale, Mississippi for Alternative Break Challenge.
After getting feedback from the class, I know I need to keep a sharp focus on the project's intent and make sure that it will tell a story. I think learning what students have experienced through volunteering, how they have changed, and what volunteering with Habitat for Humanity meens to them will be important to find out.
The next steps I plan to take for the project include: 1. Calling (I have already e-mailed her) Margaret O'Brien, who is one of the persons in charge of the upcoming build in Rochester. She can let me know when the build will start or other builds in the area. 2. Ask Margaret for a list of student volunteers who have worked with Habitat in the past or who are currently still volunteering. 3. Visit the worksite to take pictures/interview. 4. Interview other students who worked with Habitat during the Alternative Break Challenge and ask them for pictures.
