## Explain why you found the project interesting. (8 points)

fill-in-your-answer
I work for a Healthcare company, so anything to do with data and health is of interest to me. I especially find it interesting how we can use technology and data to help improve healthcare in developing countries. I find this project interesting because it can help improve healthcare to people who are difficult to reach.

Finding times during the summit where people referenced the marches would show some evidence of the marches making a difference. Events in the GDELT data during the marches and shortly after that include proposals of policy changes and similar actions would show the marches making a difference.
