The idea behind Beneventures is to assist the students in the Alternative Spring Break Outreach.  It will provide simple but helpful information to them about their service area, help to keep them in contact with those going, and help them blog or update their work in real time as they work.

The app will fetch the current service location from a database, and from there the user can look up a map of the area, and restaurants and hotels in the area.  There will be a contact list that contains the name, phone number and email address of all the people involved in the current service location, and provide a way to update a social network/blog (e.g. upload a picture and comment) as opposed to doing it upon their return.
