For today's #365ofgoodWR post I am sharing this article from the Kitchener Post about 2 local girls who created an app to help with disaster relief. The local pair ended up winning the junior technovation competition, competing against 38 other teams. Using their own personal experiences, the 2 girls created a prototype app that "focuses on the remnants of a natural disaster, making a more efficient way for organizations, donors, and victims to coordinate aid. It is designed to connect donors, emergency response organizations and governments to make sure survivors receive the help they need. Victims share what they need through their location. Response organizations can focus on a region’s needs while donors can see what resources are required." Read more here.
