Throughout our lives, many different things can happen across the world ranging from hunger to war to even social injustice. Many times groups of individuals create organizations or groups in order to attend to such issues through non profit or profit. These groups will usually create food drives, or donation systems to assist the ones in need of this help. Through a simple and straightforward presentation, a group of students made a website that gathered these organizations to allow people to access a single website that bears all entrances to them in easy access. Surprisingly enough, not any people go out of their way in order to help others in need specifically that they might say it is otherwise not their problem or some other excuse. This website was made to attract the people who are reluctant to join and become in someway active. It is an easy access website allowing more comfortable use which can attract users. Donations are also an added feature so that they can, even at least, support other assistive organizations. This is to allow people to be more involved in the issues of the world giving them ways to help. There were specific starting places on their website in way of which people can begin to help and or join in the effort of doing so.
In all, the group explained thoroughly what they were capable of doing and acting upon. The presentation was clear and understood and for something like this to exist can easily build more bonds between people and their overall humanity. The more we stand together the less reason we have to fight or cause harm to each other. And the less struggle we have to suffer.

Awesome idea!
It amazed me this semester to see what great ideas students have on problem solving and ingenuity for the final project required in this course. I.O.U Transports is a great idea for solving an apparent problem at colleges for students that I personally never would have even really considered.
Some corrective criticism on the project that I would offer the group if they were to really be serious about developing this concept would be the following:
I would change the name of the app and only develop the app and technology and remove your "company" / groups role in implementing payment structures, resolving legality issues, liability and insurance issues, training sessions, background checks and so on.
Basically I would only develop the software used to run this program. After doing so you could then sell this software to various schools and let them implement the app according to their own standards, policies and criteria.
This would be a great way to help colleges increase student jobs and really they only need the software to do so. The schools can organize the program to best fit their needs past that. You could develop some sort of implementation strategy to help colleges implement the software / app but at the end of the day it seemed like the main thing any college would really need to implement such as system is the software itself. This would help your team focus on making sure the software / app has all the features needed by your customers such as branding based on the college and features, updates and debugging and also would make for a scalable and profitable model.
The idea is great!
