A Little Slice of History about Brossac
Website
Since 2009, La Giraudiere has hosted a sub-domain for the village of
Brossac, providing useful information for those looking
to experience
the village. The first volunteer to publish the 1st edition was Irvin Fong from the USA who was here in 2009
In 2015, it was time to give the website it's first face
lift and now in 2018, like the village itself it
is time for yet another new
face lift.The following people have been instrumental in making
this
happen over the past 9 years.
Volunteers
- Olivia, Georgia, Martha, Sybil and Rhonda & Interns- Jimmy & Aina |
The 2015 Update Team
Here's a little bit more about them and what they have contributed to
this updated website:
Georgia
A Languages undergraduate from Oxford University, UK (studying French
and German), Georgia laid the foundation for this sub domain in Aug and
Sep 2015. She visited the shops around the village, and started
collating all the information by meeting shop owners and gathered
contact info, took some pictures etc that formed the backbone of this
sub domain.
Olivia
Another Languages undergraduate that, serendipitously, is also
currently studying in Oxford University, UK (studying French and German
as well) came in around July 2016 and contributed to this website.
Olivia did so by translating the content gathered by Georgia the
previous year from English to French.
THANKS
FOR THE GREAT TEAM EFFORT!!! |
The 2016
Team updates Brossac Website
Martha
A Spanish native whom has lived abroad for 18 years (using London, UK,
as a hub), she arrived in Aug 2016. Using her strong French
conversational skills - She teaches French and Spanish to high school
students - Martha helped consolidate, verify and amend outdated details
by joining Jimmy(intern) on his visits to the shops around the village,
making calls etc. She also continued on the translation work started by
Olivia.
Jimmy
An intern from New Zealand - en route to a working holiday in Canada -
was responsible for putting it all together. Arriving in Aug 2016, he
re-visited shops and spoke to the owners around Brossac Village to
verify outdated information, took new pictures of the establishments
etc. Jimmy also created the new template, formatted, published and
optimised the content onto the web pages, then finally loaded them all
up onto the
website.
