I wish you would come to cons all over the country so more nerds like us would donate. I know we all might be a little weird, but most nerds I know have big hearts.
@OderuntDumMetuant Hey - great question. As you can see in the video, the only person without ethnic or blood ties to Bangladesh was Paul. And all Paul did there was help hold the camera for me. Everyone else - from the needs assessment to logistics - was pretty much handled in the field by local Bangladeshi Save the Children employees.
@meherune If you have annotations enabled, at one point you will see an annotation that says "click to see inside". It will take you to a video call "Save the Children Warehouses". In it, I go over each and every item that was given. These were non-food items that were assembled based on input from communities in need in post-disaster situations :)
Tried hard to control my tears not because of the victims... I am quite used of seeing victims. nothing new for me. but what made me emotional is you. I am thankful to your parent to raise a Patriot Bangladeshi in abroad. I can guess how great they are.I wish you all the best with all my heart and my prayers will be with you. Bless you. thanks for making us proud of you. Take care.
So I just found out about you and your project and I was wondering if you do something like this for everyone who donates and by something like this I mean showing the people who were helped by the donation and telling them the donors name.
@SloCheetah13 Hey - whenever possible I try. But it's not always possible. For example, when repairing a school, it's not possible to show who funded what screw or brick.
And, even in this video, I gave a lot of kits - but not everyone is seen in this video. It's tough - but I try my best. And real charities usually don't allow even tracking one donor to one recipient (unless it's child sponsorship).
@UnculturedProject wow thanks for the reply that was a lot quicker than I expected. So are you currently working on a project or what is your next project gonna be?
@SloCheetah13 I'm currently at home trying to network with charities to do more projects. As you can see in this video, I can't do it alone - and really do need charities to consider teaming up with me. There have been a lot of hurdles in that - but I'm plugging along. And online support helps a lot to make my case.
@SloCheetah13 I do take donations. Equipment donations are useful because it's back home when I buy the most equipment (to take back with me). And I also sometimes collaborate with friends to have donations spent elsewhere when I'm away. Take a look at my video "Blankets for Peru" and "Fighting Hunger in America" for examples.
We visit Bangladesh about every year or so and every time we drive somewhere, we see poor helpless people in the streets dying :( and the cyclone just made it worse =(. And the terrible thing is, most people who live in Bangladesh that are wealthy don't even bother to care for them. I remember offering a few taka to a small child who looked about 5 and my cousin stopped me telling me that the child needs to work to earn the money...the majority of the Bengali people are so selfish!
tht really sad huh this people suffering ther from hard lifesand poverty and climat its so hard too a lot of naturals disasters huh...... and i think people are selfish over there bcse of ther hard lifes......
Actually same happens here. When I suggest it, I am told that they can work, they shouldn't beg. If they are crippled it is understood because they won't be able to work. I guess many people think that way? I don't really know. But every time someone comes to me for alms I feel really bad cause I am told not to give them anything.
I made this part of my Christmas Card this year to show people in America how good we have it and to educated American of WHAT is going on in the world around us, outside...the USA.
Yeah, I often go on the conservative side with my figures and presentation to avoid being accused of sensationalism. But yes, it was very bad. And got almost no real attention.
Have two steel plates in the sole that prevent that sort on foot injury
anyways doing good things here man, Ought to link Savethechildrens website in your more info tab, so people if they feel compelled can easily donate to your cause :)
125$ well spent. also ANSI 50 rated steel toes.
Had mine for 9 years, Mink oil every now and then and they'll last forever,
Been to the top of Mt,Washington,Mt.Chocoura,Mt Bigbear, Black Mesa,
And my donation page also has a section for those who wish to donate to my equipment fund. I should probably add steel bottom shoes to that list of equipment I need.
This is so inspirational. I truly hope that we will all try and make a difference for these people and others during our own lifetimes. We truly shouldn't be calling our selves happy until we bring happiness to others.
Well many were. But this isn't Oprah - they aren't going to clap & scream like crazy like they found keys to a brand new car under their seat. They've lost a lot - their entire homes in many cases. What they received is the basics to survive the situation and temporarily shelter.
If you lost your home and all your possessions, would you be even thinking about being happy just to receive temporarily shelter and basic house items? :-/
Hey Shawn, though I dont coment much I just want you to know I always watche your vids multiple times and always shed tears. Dude I am still baffled that you have not been recognized by main frame media, but anyway i know u dont do it for that. Keep it up bro!!! also u need to come back to NYC!!!
Shawn, you continue to amaze me. I'll spread the word through my (currently) small network, but I may soon have a chance to do a little more. Take care.
Why don't you direct message me on YouTube with the name that's tied to your PayPal account. If your under 18, it might be under your parents name instead?
Shawn, You make a real difference in real people's lives... and are a connecting force to allow others to join in heart-fulfilling work. Kudos sir :>)
Take my love; it's all I am... lyrics and music music is awesomely perfect.
We are very happy that we've had a chance to donate some money for this noble cause. And thanks to Shawn for bringing us the opportunity to take a part in this relief work. Keep it up mate
Great work Shawn. The video was awesome! Just a couple of questions: What was in the bags for the most part? Shoes? Tools? Pots and pans? How do they decide who gets what or are all of the bags the same?
Like Shawn said, you can watch the video entitled "Save the Children Warehouses" under his secondary account (thestudent), but each bag contains a family size mosquito net and blanket, water collection container, a large and small bucket for bathing, body soap, a tarp and rope to construct a make-shift shelter, soap to wash dishes and clothes, and candles.
It's so sad to see so many people out of home like that and in that situation... but at the same time, it's very inspirational to be able to see that so many people are willing to help them, complete strangers, out like that ^-^
Thanks so much for this video, I didn't even know this was going on...
yet another disaster hidden by the racism of western media. "a bunch of brown people homeless with no food - thats not news". thank you for bringing the suffering of fellow human beings to light.
Oh, wow. People like you give hope to this world. You are a special person, such an inspiration and a light in this world. If it wasn't for you, I never even would have known this incident occured. People need to see what's going on in the world around us, other than just war, and see that there is things they can do to help. Your posting this gives this issue well-needed publicity. I hope the best for those people out affected by Aila and I hope many good things come out of your caring work.
eveytime i visit, i always see the rivers. it is IMPOSSIBLE not to lived close to a river, seeing as Bangladesh is mostly water and land. these cyclones end up happening, and they cant escape them. yu truly are an inspiration.
WOW this is some heavy stuff. I heard about it once on the news, but it was nothing like this. People need to know about this. I really respect you for doing this for them. Stay safe.
Probably not much on the news due to the fact of the horrible gepgraphic attributes of Bangladesh, such as it is a giant floodplain of a country so floods happen all the time; so I think news reporters just got bored in reporting "Yet another disaster in Bangladesh"
But good luck to all people affected by the cyclone I feel sorry for the people in these circumstances.
your right the media hasn't given it much attention at all this is actually the first I'm hearing of this but Shawn keep up the good work I'm proud of ya and keep yourself safe while your there.
it is important we shouldn't be throwing up money on unimportant things and waste money on luxuries. Because some where in this world a lot of people, infact, whole lot of people struggling for a dollar. A dollar could bring magics into their life. Wonderful job. The simple people shown in this video are really hard working people. Unforunate the nature is against. They don't have any where else to go.
When I get a better webcam/digital cam I'm doing a video to raise money for charity. Please subscribe to my channel to be a part of it. When it happens I will need all the advertisement I can get. Thanks.
That's one way to view it. How about this - random YouTubers from around the world help those suffering from a disaster that got next to no international media coverage? Or about how that random YouTubers (and those on Twitter) helped families on very short notice (like 3 or 4 days)?
Or how about the fact that this is just one video on a channel that shows the MANY ways "random YouTubers" are helping people?
Thanks so much for making this video. I hope that it can bring more exposure and more aid to the people suffering from the disaster.
As for the America and Israel bashing...I think it shows a very narrow world concept to generalize an entire nation by the actions of a few. Should those people who are unable to stop their government also be blamed? Furthermore, what kind of world would it be if we tossed blame in the face of aid? Take off your cynic shades, buddy--they won't help the world.
I used to be a member of STC when I was a kid and you got these sickers for doing good things and fill up these books. lol.
Twistedkandie.. check out my vid Acrassicauda - Message from Baghdad .. they had to leave their lives family and friends(most of them died or left the country) and now live in America.
I wish you would come to cons all over the country so more nerds like us would donate. I know we all might be a little weird, but most nerds I know have big hearts.

WOW this is some heavy stuff. I heard about it once on the news, but it was nothing like this. People need to know about this. I really respect you for doing this for them. Stay safe.

Probably not much on the news due to the fact of the horrible gepgraphic attributes of Bangladesh, such as it is a giant floodplain of a country so floods happen all the time; so I think news reporters just got bored in reporting "Yet another disaster in Bangladesh"
But good luck to all people affected by the cyclone I feel sorry for the people in these circumstances.

it is important we shouldn't be throwing up money on unimportant things and waste money on luxuries. Because some where in this world a lot of people, infact, whole lot of people struggling for a dollar. A dollar could bring magics into their life. Wonderful job. The simple people shown in this video are really hard working people. Unforunate the nature is against. They don't have any where else to go.

When I get a better webcam/digital cam I'm doing a video to raise money for charity. Please subscribe to my channel to be a part of it. When it happens I will need all the advertisement I can get. Thanks.

But I have a question. What can young people do to help?

That's one way to view it. How about this - random YouTubers from around the world help those suffering from a disaster that got next to no international media coverage? Or about how that random YouTubers (and those on Twitter) helped families on very short notice (like 3 or 4 days)?
Or how about the fact that this is just one video on a channel that shows the MANY ways "random YouTubers" are helping people?

Thanks so much for making this video. I hope that it can bring more exposure and more aid to the people suffering from the disaster.
As for the America and Israel bashing...I think it shows a very narrow world concept to generalize an entire nation by the actions of a few. Should those people who are unable to stop their government also be blamed? Furthermore, what kind of world would it be if we tossed blame in the face of aid? Take off your cynic shades, buddy--they won't help the world.

Maybe Bangladesh is just a place people shouldn't live. I've been hearing about a disaster in Bangladesh every year for 40 years.
After some point, you just realise that that road leads nowhere.
