  • I went to Ghana almost four years ago w/ a group of college classmates for a class about the slave trade. We got lost & stopped at an orphanage & while there, we were introduced to a 6 yr old boy who was just rescued from Lake Volta the week before. In tears, I went to the front of the group, knelt down, & hugged him. I got up and turned to see my classmates all in tears. We finally saw the face of what we had been studying for so long. This all happened because we got lost.

  • @elisaveronica that experience must have been amazing. I wish I could do something like that when I go to college next year. Thanks for sharing!

  • this actually moved me to tears. seeing jason's connection with the children just reminded me of my own that i made when i was in Kenya building schools. it is truely amazing how down to earth and passionate this man is. I absolutely 100% adore him and even idolize him for the work he's doing. I wish I could thank him face to face for everything he's done with this and everything else.

  • Jason Mraz is truly amazing. Not only does he have one of the most beautiful and clear voices I've ever heard but he really sincerely cares. It isn't about money or fame. He doesn't encourage people to be green because it's a fad. It's because he truly cares and he uses his extraordinary talent to change the world.

    You're truly an inspiration Jason <3

  • Jason, you're such a hero!

    You are a very spiritual, kind loving man!

    Dude you are beautiful!

    Don't ever let your fame get to you!

  • It's so great that you're sharing this video with the world! People really need to be aware of what's going on in their own society, whether or not they are directly affected by it.

  • Pessimistic about results, I'm still glad someone is trying to do something positive.

  • I LOVE HIM. what more can i say? He is amazing! (:

  • Jason,

    You fucking did it.

    These kids will have their best life ever.

    Thank-you on behalf of them for getting their story across.

    Best of luck for the new album, I've been waiting and planning to buy it the day it arrives.

    Yours,

    Number 1 fan from New Zealand.

  • Absolutely amazing! I am touched to tears. What a spectacular mission.

  • my idol ;) 

  • my idol ;)

  • marry me pleaseee

  • after seeing this, I fell like my life is so small, so unimportant, but lucky at the same time. I'm doing so little for this world to be better, and I thank you for being so honest and brave in things you do in order to make them closed to the rest of us. Peace and love.

  • Thanks Jason for bringing this to us and opening our hearts. So much work to be done. Jason shares love, as well as his talent.

  • curious that this freedom shelter has a wall with barbed wire on the top.. to keep people out? or to keep the kids from getting out.. weird.

  • Who the 1 dislike? wtf

  • @madangel1992 The slave owner :P

    Jason's incredible aint he?

  • 1 slave owner >:( FUCK YOU DUDE!

  • You're my Idol.

  • THE REAL DEAL , LETS WISH EVERY HUMAN BEEN TRUNS TO BE AS BEAUTIFULL AS J MRAZ

  • For the one that disliked this video:

    You need a soul, a heart and some love. If seeing a human cheering up kids that spent their whole life in slavery, singing with them a song about freedom and crying for all of them and for their new hope... If all of that make you dislike this video, I have some bad news for you: You are one step away to becoming what Jason is fighting against.

    Still, I pray for your wellness.

  • speechless..

  • And now I'm crying.

    You are the change we wish to see in the world, Jason.

  • thank you for everything you do and for sharing these story with the world we love you and your music with all our hearts

  • Jason is a real musician.. A musician with a real heart to experience life and to care about the others.

  • Glad I watched this morning before seeing the show at UB tonight. I felt real cool explaining the freedom song to my friends.

  • finally a video with no dislikes!!

  • proof that real men cry.

  • @Yheafreak

    Right on that. And real tears from real men are really infectious to others.

    Jason is maybe the first real homo empathicus prensent in everyones life through music and media. Wish there was a pandemic soon to come.

  • @Yheafreak at the end i felt like crying too

  • Jason, you are my hero.

  • i love you, jason mraz.

  • i can't tell you how much i love you...you really inspire me...your music is like this big energy that puts a big smile on my face every time i hear it...

    what you do is amazing...great job with these kids whatch them sing and dance and finally be happy and free it's really great...best of luck to you...love

  • Props to you Jason. So inspirational, it almost made me teary a little cuz it reminded me of my family overseas.

    Luv Clo

  • I have no words to describe what this man is doing to the world! He is my biggest inspiration he has shown me that there is people living in this conditions and we normally don't care about them when we should. He is doing great things and I know he is the best human being in this planet!

  • I watched this this morning, and hummed the Freedom Song all day. Came back and watched it again, because it is so beautiful! These people truly know how to be grateful for the smallest of things, keeping joy in their hearts, and song & dance are one of the few things they have to keep their hopes & spirits up. Beautiful song, beautiful people...all being LOVE!

  • Thank you, Jason.

  • This is what seperates Jason Mraz from John Mayer. John Mayer only thinks about himself, his own ego and how to satisfy it. Jason Mraz is a future Nobel Peace Prize candidate.

  • @DeathOnArrivalToo You don't need to compare musicians like that. They both have their own life goals, and both are fantastic musicians. Just because Mayer isn't going above and beyond the call of duty, doesn't make him a bad person. Appreciate the music, they're both wonderful :)

  • oh my God he's in Africa he's so close if only you'd come down south to Kenya, you'd make your number one fan so happy.

  • thank you for coming to Ghana

  • I really want to go to Africa to do sth for those kids...

  • wow and crying at the end, great show jason...embaressing for every real activist!

  • "there are slaves to be free...still" kind of great voice and good songwriter...thats all

  • You are such an inspiration, Jason. I'm crying as I watch this. Keep spreading love, justice, and freedom  :)

  • Mr. James Kodi Annan is in deed a SUPERHERO! This man is remarkable and a true example for all humanity. Jason without a doubt is an incredibly compassionate and loving being and this has always transpired throughout his music.

    …..wish there was something we little people could do to help.

  • What an unbelievable person Jason is. He is so much more than just a singer/songwriter. I wish that I could be more like him. Thanks Jason, for showing us what's important in this world.

  • <33

  • You are really inspirational and touch so many people's lives. I am proud to be a fan also! Where ever you go light and love will follow. Thank you for just being you. <3

  • Amazing video, amazing song. I want to give 500.000 thumbs up, cause this is what really is important in the world! Thnx, Jason, for opening our eyes.

  • We Dont Realize How Pampered And Lucky We Are.....

  • I Love Him! Jason cool and down to earth

  • Jason Mraz, you an amazing, amazing individual

    <3

  • What a brilliant video. So nice to actually have a musician on the planet that cares about people and the planet instead of only thinking of themselves and their wallet.

  • Amazing and touching video... it is good to know that there are people who truly care about human life as much as this group does, god bless them for saving those poor kids from slavery.

  • I kinda like it when I see Jason Cry it's soooo sweet I love you Jason :)

  • There is such a need on healing in this World - thank you Jason for your inspiration!

  • Jason, you combine journalism that matters with passion.

    ..Don't stop.

  • @eklektik721 has the right idea. How can we help?

  • You almost made me cry Jason... God bless you and the kids...

  • You made me tear up, Jason. You're such an inspiration and I'm glad to see that you're doing what you can to give these kids a peace of mind even though they're going through such a tough life. And to Luc, you are also amazing. I'm sure The Freedom Song is going to put so much hope in these kids' hearts.

  • Good to hear that work is being done like this to free kids like them. But... one question... Do they actually know what they're singing? Do they know that much English?

  • amazing! I heard Jason the first time in St. Louis (July 2005) I knew his music was great and he has a gift.. I never knew what a big heart and wonderful person he would turn out to be... Thanks Jason for showing this to the world.!!

  • This gave me goosebumps, especially when I saw all of the kids clinging on to Jason.

  • God Bless You Jason. :) You are a beautiful person, inside and out. :)

  • You are the best artist and one of the best persons in the world.

    Down to earth is what you are, despite being up there with the Stars in Hollywood/MTV, but you still come back down to Earth.

    I respect you for that Mr A-Z!

  • Your simply great Jason! :D

  • I can't wait until I see him live again..such an amazing artist and person! He's an amazing role model

  • i love U Jason, and I'll love it if you come to mexico,,,
