2. Housekeeping Sorry about last week How far did you get in the movie? Everything is graded except the child soldiers stuff which I will grade this week We will need to do course evaluation today Would you all be interested in doing a Christmas potluck next Monday?

3. Assignment Update There will not be a forum for this week nor video Next week, your reflection paper for the public awareness campaign is due and your large paper and presentation. Please make sure to double space both and the paper of your country and trafficking needs to be in APA format.

4. Paper Final Project-Country and Person Profile Presentation and Paper Take one country and one form of trafficking and research the problem there. Find out the statistics, government involvement (or lack thereof), policies created, social service involvement, agencies, NGO’s, etc. Find one personal story of someone from that country who has been trafficked (you cannot use one that you have read about or watched during this class time) to share about. You will need to do a presentation in PowerPoint and a paper detailing your findings. *Rubrics

5. Presentation Please have slide on the relevant pieces specified in the rubrics I am only expecting around 5 to 10 minutes a person. Take this as an opportunity to not just “present” but to teach your fellow classmates about the form of trafficking your chose in your specific country. You need to have enough copies of the PowerPoint for everyone in class. You need 19 for everyone in the class. If you want one for yourself as well, then 20. If you email me your PowerPoint by 2pm on Monday requesting me to make copies, I will make the copies for you.

6. Reflection Time for the Public Awareness campaigns How did they go? What did you think about them? What was the reactions from people that participated?

8. Nongovernmental Organizations A non-governmental organization (NGO) is any non-profit, voluntary citizens' group which is organized on a local, national or international level. Task-oriented and driven by people with a common interest, NGOs perform a variety of service and humanitarian functions, bring citizen concerns to Governments, advocate and monitor policies and encourage political participation through provision of information. Some are organized around specific issues, such as human rights, environment or health. They provide analysis and expertise, serve as early warning mechanisms and help monitor and implement international agreements. Their relationship with offices and agencies of the United Nations system differs depending on their goals, their venue and the mandate of a particular institution. http://www.ngo.org/ngoinfo/define.html

9. Nongovernmental Organizations Serve a wide-range of functions: – Relief and development – Advocacy for cause such as human rights and peace – Development education – Exchange – International networks of social and youth agencies – The cross-national work of domestic agencies targeted at international problems such as adoption, child custody, and refugee resettlement – Professional associations

10. Nongovernmental Organizations – Nongovernmental organizations are the most substantial change agents in community development – NGOs are powerful because they act as intermediaries between governments and citizens – NGOs are private organizations that pursue activities to relieve suffering, promote the interests of the poor, protect the environment, provide basic social services, or undertake community development – NGOs have become increasingly professionalized over the last 20 years – NGOs operate under the principles of altruism and voluntarism

11. Nongovernmental Organizations Development efforts must be self-sustaining Bottom-up strategy: strategies are planned and implemented by the people needing assistance Focus predominately on either relief or development – Relief work involves a rapid response to basic human needs: shelter, food, water, safety, and family reunification, usually under emergency circumstances – Development work has traditionally been looked at as that carried out under nonemergency circumstances. Applications of development work include: The environment Human development Economic development Democracy building Infrastructure
