Review of International Volunteers Preserve the Earth Here and Abroad

Hearing the different international voices in this piece is really cool; they have awesome perspectives on what it’s like to be in America and environmental issues and organizing in their home countries. Kayla definitely did a great job with interviewing, selecting clips, and setting them up. And the ending is super cute and just perfect for the piece. But, the area where I think this story could improve in its structure. The lead doesn’t really set you up for what’s to come, and it would be cool to know that all these students are working on environmental issues for this one specific organization. With a firmer structure for the larger story in place, the individuals’ stories in the interviews will really shine.
