Doctors Without Borders

I was having the most difficult time trying to figure out what I wanted to do for my final project in Public Speaking. Then, as if a give came down from the Heavens, I got a letter in the mail from an organization I donate to: Doctors Without Borders. When I attended Temple U, I was constantly preyed upon by people wanting my to donate to their cause. I was always resistant, but when a DWB representative asked, I couldn't say no. Not only was he convincing, but I couldn't turn down the offer to help such a great cause. Basically, the organization is a group of people who give relief efforts to countries all over the world who have hit a hard time. They also help in the US. When Hurricane Katrina hit, they were there. There are many problems they help with worldwide. They help with malnutrition, epidemics, armed conflict, natural disaster, etc.  For the amazing work they do, I feel more people should know about them. This is why I picked them to be the basis of my final presentation.
