College students whom arein the process of writing theirfinal papersareexpected to deal with tougher pressures compared to other college students in general, based on both internal and external factors. Internal factors include laziness, low motivation, fear of meeting and difficultiesin adjusting ideas with their paper advisors. Whereas external factors include the minimum time of guidance, difficultiesin finding themes and titles of their papers, along with everything that would come with the writing process. If college students are not able to adjust to the difficulties, conditions such as stress, frustration, and lost of motivation are likely to occur. Therefore, college students whom are in the process of writing final papers may need resilience. Resilience is a personal quality that enablesan individual to rise when dealing with difficulties.

AbstractThe aim of the paper is to investigate the capacity of Polish non-governmental organisations implementing development projects in Africa. Drawing on an integrated systemic perspective of capacity that recognises internal and external factors, this paper focuses on internal factors. Using a quantitative approach to operationalise capacity, the study suggests that those non-governmental organisations implementing the Polish development policy in Africa are highly polarised and can be divided in two groups. Whilst the first group comprises two fairly large organisations with long track records and the ability to fundraise internationally, the second group consists of smaller NGOs of different capacities and working strategies. Most Polish NGOs operate within independent networks – Catholic and secular ones. The study identifies a research gap related to the lack of comprehensive study of religious organisations’ contribution to development assistance in Africa.
