A guy using the power of the YouTube community to help the poor.
About Me:
 
I was a grad student at Notre Dame. Then I heard Dr. Jeffrey Sachs (author of the book "The End of Poverty") talk about how it's our generation's responsibility to end poverty.

I withdrew from grad school, packed my bags, grabbed a laptop & camcorder, and flew to Bangladesh (where my parents were born) to see how I could make a difference.

In over three years, the YouTube community has helped me rebuild a school, provide scholarships, disaster relief, food, clean water, school supplies, and much more in both Bangladesh & around the world.

This isn't a formal charity - I just do this as an individual with the support of the YouTube community. "Uncultured" is a reference to me - not the people I'm helping.

I have a go at speaking in my best American accent, which apparently isn't very good at all. Apologies to your ears.

nohathepoddar (1 week ago)
it took about 5 seconds into the first of your vids i saw for me to break down crying. you're doing something really amazing by putting effort into this. my parents are from bangladesh too but i've lived in australia all my life. unfortunately i doubt i would have the will-power to make the same sacrifice you've made to do this, so i just want you to know that i think this is a really really really great thing your doing.

Hey hi there, I hail from Sierra Leone, West Africa - the country that was subject of the film Blood Diamond, I am interested in helping to create sustainable opportunities for people in impoverished communities the world over - especially Sierra Leone. You are an inspiration. Nice to be 'in your company' here and to learn from you. Keep up the good work (:-)
