KidsCareEverywhere is a non-profit group that I've been a part of for the past 3 years. I'm actually one of the Board Members and the Director of Research (since there's a large educational research component in our outreach efforts). The group delivers a clinical decision software (PEMSoft) to pediatricians in developing countries. This software essentially replaces their medical libraries and brings references and tools to the bedside.
I just returned from a recent trip to Vietnam. Got some amazing video footage and photos. It was tough to get things down to a 7 minute video.
It really is amazing what you can do with a little technology and a lot of free time:
- Three of us simultaneously edited the script on Google Docs from our respective homes.
- Adobe Flash is a software worth learning. It let me add in those nifty animations that can get converted into .mov format. These are then importable into iMovie. It can suck up all your time trying to get the animations just right, but a great visual goes a long way.
- I found a great Creative Commons website with royalty-free music by Kevin McLeod. If you need some great background soundtracks, check it out here.
