  • this is cool shens my sis and is wield seeing her on youtube

  • Woah! my last name is Barkley :)

  • Hey there! my last name is Barkley haha

  • I have a friend who works for World Vision!! He films documentaries for them!

  • LOL XD I never knew that bugs could sponsor! RIGHT can my stick-bug sponsor one o3o

  • Nanalew, you're awesome.

  • Why are U spending somuch time in Africa.... "White folks love 2 steal" from MY Mother Land......

  • Comment removed

  • ...come to think of it. I remember sitting next to a kid on our airplane who had been doing charity work there. Oy, my memories failing me. But we seriously chatted for like the whole flight. He was from Ireland and was telling me stories about the work he and his group of friends were doing over their school break. I wonder if he was with your organization... Impossible to tell now, I suppose. Still, small world.

  • Its so wonderful to see people working hard and accomplishing so much.

    I was only in Zambia for like three hours (we drove through to get to a little airport--though not the one you all flew into, I don't think) last year. But I have these really vivid mental images of that brief time; it was very unique from the other countries we visited (truth b told, even tho geographically close to each other--every country felt vastly different from the next).

    Anyway, how could anyone thumbs down this?

  • what was that song Tom was singing

  • @BondofFilms I think it's "Safety Dance" by Men Without Hats

  • ooh your mean. You have a mean face and you look mad are you mad? get happy

  • Wow a bug that can help economic growth...i...have...actually never heard of that.

  • voice-overs rock :)

  • What you do is really inspiring. Thank you for showing us this video.

  • Barkley's adorable but what did you do with him when you left?

  • weren't that "food" you were climbing?? i love you and your inspiring video and what you've reported from Africa was totally amazing, but i don't think that was a good idea :(

  • Comment removed

  • @eidothea Please also consider, that sticking a camera in someones face who is not from your own culture could be counterproductive, especially considering in some tribes in parts of Africa there is a belief that taking a child's photo traps the child's soul inside of the camera. Many times the people are skiddish, so I would rather see a video like this, than anything else. Sure its nice, but you have to consider cultural stuff too....

  • @cpmower Yes, but really, if that was the case then Worldvision, as a reputable organisation, would have informed volunteers of the cultural particularities that they must be aware of and respect. Having now seen other Worldvision vlogs, I don't think that's the case. And even if it was, it seems as if there are locals who would be more than happy to be filmed and tell others of their lives.

    Anyway, I'm not judging this video, I'm merely interested in finding out more.

  • @cpmower Aside from the skiddish thing, when some people there see cameras and all of that, they see $. I have been to Kenya, and Ethiopia with another organization, they advise us of this. Worldvision, which is just as big, if not bigger than who I went with, does the same I am sure. By Shawna sharing her thoughts/feelings and views on what happened I believe we get a better view through HER eyes. A video doesn't do it justice, you simply must SEE what she and her friends saw.

  • @cpmower It is simply a VLOG, not a documentary, or a highlight video. If you want to see that, there is PLENTY of those out there. Because a VLOG by it's sheer definition, is a video log, a "diary" so-to-speak about what she saw.

  • @eidothea pwned.

  • I say, we can go where we want to a place where they will never find and we can act like we come from out of this world Leave the real one far behind

  • @Nanalew Please don't see it like that, and it isn't so much as judgement but rather thirst for knowledge and understanding on how development works on the ground. You have to bear in mind that your a lot of your audience haven't been to Africa. You are right there, right now and you can actually inspire others to be involve in something like that, if only you can just show us more. Please see this for what it is: constructive criticism.

  • Tom is such a dush,Shawna beat him to the top....you goo girl...;)))

  • I just ordered your book :)

    It better be as awesome as you! :P

  • this is such a scam don't use youtube to promote to just make money for shithouse organisation where middleman gets more money out of it

  • @Roo47 Have you actually watched any of the videos? If you did you may know that she is doing this for a charity. Get a life.

  • shawna why are u so lovable?????????????

  • id sponser but im only 15! awwww. lol.

  • Question, do you tell the people here about Jesus and salvation?

  • Who would dislike this video?

  • ZAMBIAN FTW

    (MY MOTHER HOME!)

  • Hey! Nice video, really! And you have such a comforting voice :) I wrote a small blog post about you and frezned, if you want you can read it on namelessphreak.blogspot.com and check if I got the details right? :P If not, then.. meh.. your choice! :) Have a nice night, or day or whatever :P It's night here.. so.. good night :)

  • cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance well they.. no friends of mine:D

  • bullshit

  • barkley is an icon x3 <3

  • @14shanerA whats fake and gay

  • This is awesome, but your last quote about the roach made me shy away..

  • safety dance song win!

  • It makes me sad knowing that I'll never meet you in my life because I'm pretty sure I want to marry you.

  • I've been watching nerimon and you for quite a while now, but then I finally click tom because alex told me too, and he's quite funny! Love the community on youtube. btw, your videos convinced me to sponsor a child!

  • You can dance if you wanna you can leave your friends behind.cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance then they are no friends of mine

  • S-A-F-E-T-Y dance

  • hi fron na = north america the excess food pile scene was neat-o

  • Thumbs up if Nerimon brought you here!

  • Safety Dance FTW!!

  • Oh snap i have tons of Barkley's .... and they wont leave T-T

  • Barkley is going to escape when you get back home, and it shall breed with the similar insects in the area, and it will create a mutant insect that will have practically no competition and it will TAKE OVER THE ENTIRE CONTINENT!!!

  • Safety Dance FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • SAFETY DANCE

    XP

  • free Barkley!

  • omg i finally find it out !

    you remind me so much of lorena from true blood ! haha

    btw. your vids are awesome ;)

  • Sad how you Barkley won't be allowed on the airplane ;(

  • Great video.I really like it. Good job!

  • I was expecting to see Charles Barkley.

  • That was awesome...nice pitch video for them :)

  • this is sparta

  • Damn it Tom. now that song is gonna be stuck in my head for a wekk

  • when tom started singing in my head i was like SSSS- AAAA-FFFF-TTTT-EEEE-YYYY :D

  • it's the safety daaance

  • you are so life giving...

  • i like  :-D

  • can you help if you're not a vlogger :/

  • @ChillizOpen The only way the vloggers are helping is by telling everyone how they can help. Meaning we don't help at all if people don't get involved. You can help by sponsoring a child or donating on the World Vision website, which is what is changing these peoples' lives. Thank you! :]

  • @Nanalew Miss Jolie We have enough problems in this countryy without worrying about the plight of others around the world - There;ls a reason why we don't land on the moon any more.-Too expensive and not  a good risk reward propostion in relative terms of what is beneficial to the U.S. people- People burn the US flag all over the world in protest every day and the US often turns a blind eye Miss Jolie- Keep your grass cut before you think about the neighbors lawn

  • @missmyaforsken Really? the US has too many problems to help out starving kids in Africa? Im sorry, but flag burning is NOT an issue. People have the right to hate the US, and seeing that theyre not bombing our hospitals or govt buildings, theyre not an issue. Sure, there are problems in the US, but there is no perfect society. World Vision also donates school supplies to children in the US, and the majority of US can easily afford to sponsor a kid ($35). Starved kids are worth worrying about.

  • @crazyJ6245 world is full of bleeding hearts my good friend. Obviously you're not happy with your life and this fills that gap. By the way, I hear they're building another Jonestown... Help those people realize their dream. They mean so well

  • @cathode1990 I have a great life actually; I'm really satisfied with it. I just think that it's insane to ignore immediate needs that other people have that I can easily meet, and if I were the starving kid in Africa I would definitely want someone in America to provide for me.

  • @Nanalew thanks for the guidance Angelina- Are you and Brad doing any more adoptions?

  • i dont like how some people are watching this video just to see alex.

  • @philvidler666 who's alex?

  • @EuropeanDeity (either you are being subtley brilliant and you are agreeing with me, or you dont know who he is..) nerimon on youtube

  • @philvidler666 thanks i agree w/ u + didn't know who he is

  • @philvidler666 oh wait now i know who he is.. after seeing his page. i didn't watch this 'cause of him tough :)

  • @Nanalew

    GAHH!

    ANIMAL CRUELTY!!

    CAPTIVITY AGAINST HIS WILL!

    Lol jokes, no troll intended, Africa rocks :D x

  • Crazy and hot ! ;-)

  • The safety dance.

  • I get the impression that a female's attractiveness is being utilised to coerce money out of men such as myself.

    Story of my life.

  • Agressive!

  • that bug needs to be free!

  • Thanks, I sponsor a kid in Bangladesh through Worldvision and always sort of wondered if they actually got the money.

  • I was going to write something else, but changed my mind.

  • It would have been terrible if you like, spilled the excess food - it would have reminded me of "A bugs life" hah.

    This video was very sweet, I love this idea.

  • Food that Nanalew has raced on will prove to be the most nutritious and the tastiest!

  • @socialnoocrat That was so horrible... But kind of funny haha (:

  • I'm getting the feeling that Shawna and Tom are becoming really great friends (or even a couple?) but Alex is kind of the third wheel. Poor kid. Although things like that do sometimes happen, the whole "three's a crowd" thing.

  • meaningful

  • you should marry tom

  • LOL! i love the song that Tom was singing xDDD

  • @OmishuKitsuni Safety Dance! Wooot!!

  • Where is alex?

  • OMFG He was singing "Safetydance".

  • Good luck getting that through customs!

  • What animal is that?! At first it look like a captured mosquito, but I don't think they are that large and slugish.

  • good video

  • go barkley. We should all follow his example!

    Make sure to check out my channel and watch my crazy random videos. Another upload tomorrow

  • this is seriously the greatest thing ever. I'm so glad you got chosen for this trip, otherwise I would never have got to see what world vision really does.

  • THE SAFETY DANCE!! TOM WAS SINGING THE SAFETY DANCE! :D

  • Comment removed

  • hey its wonderful that you guys are doing this...every now and then my family and I donate to some places...I just subscribed to your page and sent a friend request..hope you and all those getting involve are having an awesome weekend.I wish I had the confidence to talk on cam like you though lol I'd have to pretend the camera isn't there but in a case like this message its not a good thing to do lol....Cheers!!! to kindness

  • how did u catch it

  • where is nerimon?? 

  • More Barkley

  • im in love with barkely!!! <3

  • barkley seems like a cool guy

  • I think what you mean is each half of him would "sponser" a child :P

  • I totally own the same lotion as you. I'd recognize that green container anywhere. Aloe and cucumber.. delicious!

  • I think what you mean is each half of him would sponser a child :P

  • I think Barkley needs air to survive and sponsor 2 children in Zambia..

  • @0valle0 Better call PETA

  • @0valle0 Hence me not squishing him!

  • you have everything in the right places

  • SAFETY DANCE.

  • What animal is barkley exactly? I WANT ONE!

  • @TSinghAus he looks like a mosquito but he's prob not. I'm gonna shut up now...

  • @sooooooo0 looks more like a cricket of some sort... :D

  • I have a crush on Shawna

  • i liek yoo

  • I like what you're doing helping people who don't have much I hope I can do the same one day I've been thinking about joining the peace corps I want to help and entertain people all people just like what you are doing I like you your videos your way of life continue being you and I hope you inspire people like me to help the world

  • oh look, you mention world vision in your video! you must be some big shot hollywood celebrity...NAH, wannabe!

  • @yxuz Ah I see, so someone who is relatively famous on youtube, and uses their influence to help a cause that affects millions of people makes them a wannabe.

    You are a tool

  • @thisisabighat of course it makes them a wannabe! It says so on Page 54, paragraph 6, section 3 of the troll's handbook!

  • @Poviddy Ahh sorry I only read up to page 54, paragraph 6, section 2 of the troll's handbook. Yeah I see it now, my mistake :)

  • @thisisabighat and yeah your right! she isnt even THAT famous on YT! ijustine, meekakitty, shane, ray are much more talented than her, in the field of wannabeology

  • @yxuz You are a douche, you have taken one part of my sentence out of context and that is your response. You don't need to be famous to help people in africa, and even though she isn't obviously the most famous person on youtube, she still helps and does a righteous thing to do. By the way you act, I'm sure she has done way more towards charities then you. How the fuck is she a wanna-be? She makes videos because she likes to not to become famous and her videos are original.... you fucking douche

  • @thisisabighat

    Hmm... you are this worked up becuase,

    if your a dude, you fantasize too much about having sex one day with this wannabe, so you need to wake up

    if your a chick, your a wannabe of another wannabe, still need to wake up

  • @thisisabighat everything makes sense now! You hate Asian people, thats why your against everything I say! Why thank you for admitting it, dumbass!

  • @yxuz Mentioning? The video is about how she is IN Zambia for World Vision. Honestly are you that dim?

  • @skyetalb exactly what a wannabe would do!

  • @yxuz considering worldvision have sent her to zambia in order to make videos about the work they do there it'd be a bit shit if she didn't mention them in one.

  • @XsupermeXx ok then lets just wish her all the best in hollywood

  • @yxuz alright then. I do wish her the best :) she seems really lovely

  • How about America? 

  • ya, where IS Alex, Shawna. I waited, but nothing!

  • This is my sarcastic reply telling you I'm giving you a thumbs down because I'm a jerk. LULZ.

  • @thejobloshow It's ok. I gave her a thumbs up for you. :)

  • This is Shawna's new lair in which to keep all of her pets.

    OMGTOM wins a million awesome points for singing that song.

    I'm making it one of my personal goals to sponsor at least one child within the next five years. *shakes money tree*

  • also..that is pretty amazing that Barkley sponsors to kids in Africa. What a guy!

  • Was he singing the Safety Dance?

  • This is so inspiring! I've never really felt like donating to those causes makes a difference if it's only one kid you're sponsoring, but this really shows you what a significant difference it makes.

  • To be completely honest I've always been apprehensive to sponsor a child through World Vision. I never quite knew where my money was going. But, your videos (and the other vloggers) have totally convinced me that I need to sponsor a little boy or girl (or maybe two!) once I have a job. (:

    Good on you!

  • @CANYOUSMILEFOREVER I let you in on a little secret, Greece is in Europe, but shhh don't tell anyone!

  • I would love to help but I'm young so I can't donate. Is there any other way I can make a difference?

    P.S.- What is barkley? Is he a mini guinea pig?

    ... ;)

  • 11 ppl dont have souls!

  • ...and he sponsors two children in Zambia. I better get on the ball here!

  • No "This is Alex"?

  • @Lizzyloo44 He was in the car.

  • Ahhhhhh! Saftey dance <3

  • OMG THOSE KIDS ARE preeeeecious!!!

  • nao quero comer essa comida .. quero somer a xana .. fazendo a danca da vitoria..

  • .....nah ty

  • wheres alex?

  • what about alex?

  • Now your pet does more for charity then I do... If you weren't so awesome I would unsubscribe...

  • I wonder if Barkley can actually Bark ! :^)

  • If you don't dance then you're no friend of mine. :-)

  • SAFETY DANCE

  • haha nice pet :D

  • S-S-A-A-F-F-E-E-T-T-Y

  • SAFETY DANCE!

  • i spent such a long time trying to work out why you hadn't linked to shawna's channel, like five minutes.

    it was only when 'did shawna and shawna fall out?' crossed my mind i realised how ridiculous i was being :p

  • Thanks for sharing!
