Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

Typically, nonprofit volunteers are do-ers who simply delivered their experience face-to-face. However, knowledge of information systems can make an enormous contribution to a nonprofit organization. For example, UNICEF relief workers create inexpensive podcasts and vodcasts (podcasts with video) to relay the plight of children from war, disease, or disasters in troubled parts of the world. Rather than spending money on radio or TV broadcasts, workers freely distribute the short, timely, and compelling video messages worldwide through the net or via download to supporters' cell phones.
