Refugee Buddy

Refugee Buddy is a tool that allows members of the Australian public to volunteer to help people in their community who are refugees from another country. It maintains a database of volunteers, which is then made accessible to refugee welfare organisations. Volunteers are "matched up" with refugees by the welfare organisation personnel.

This is a Django site, and my chief contribution to it was templating, as well as working on the registration handler. It was built in one weekend (by a team of volunteers) as part of Social Innovation Camp Sydney 2010, and it was the winner out of the eight projects at the camp.
