7. Event photos – Capture high-quality photos & videos of volunteers in action and their event output.
8. Get volunteer & POC feedback – Collect short video testimonials from volunteers and the event location POC.
9. Distribute Impact Kit – Deliver impact kits to beneficiaries if any. Capture pics & videos of heartwarming distribution, and end the event loop with real impact.
