I am excited to learn about the different charities in the presentations today. As we anticipate the vote, I am unsure whether or not I will vote for my group’s charity. There was little outside evidence from auditors and independent reviewers. This concerns me, particularly given how small our charity is. A charity that demonstrates its internal evidence is corroborated by outside evidence could sway my vote.

Light for the World will probably fare well against the other charities. I look forward to how the rest of the class receives our presentation. Specifically, I think the argument connecting blindness to reduced social mobility will resonate with other charities. The economics are less convincing than the ethical and effectiveness arguments, however. I would not be surprised if our classmates disapproved of the amount of donation income that is spent on programme work relative to the charities they selected.
