Witness - Desert Blues - 28 Sep 08 - Part 2

It would have been nice if some sort of fund raising could have been arranged at some point to pay for Abdullah so the guy can go to school. It would be a waste if such a brilliant mind was not able to fulfill his ambition. I hope Aljazeera or Omar Ragh didn`t live the guy empty handed. I would like to donate towards his education, if only I knew how to get the money to him. Can Aljazeera help.

it is so refreshing to see Abdullah who is very intelligent, wow I am deeply touched by Abdullah struggles although I am certain that he will learn a very important lesson with his situation!! I would love to buy all his jewellery, and I would love to pay 100 percent for his education!! I wish some western children could see Abdullah and be inspired to greatness!! I am certain that Abdullah will fulfill his destiny in his life time and His generation will be impacted positively!!

I'd love to know if Abdullah was able to get the money for school. What an amazing young man. What an amazing people. We all should take a cue from them, humbleness, gratitude for the day: no matter what it brings, pride in who they are, and a willingness to accept all. I especially was touched by the 'come home' . That these people would embrace a stranger as one of their own.

Abdullah is truly amazing kid. His level of thinking and intelligence is way better than grown men and women. Everyword that comes from his mouth makes sense. I am impressed that he is already showing signs of a great leader."Even if I didn't find what I was looking for, but I am happy I saw the traditions. Money will all be gone one day but the knowledge and experience will remain" --Abdullah. Absolutely a masterpiece.

Lindakool69 you was there? Wow lucky you! I would have loved to be here. Yes Abdullah seems very intelligent. It just shows the contrasts of east and west. he wants to be a doctor to help his village. Amzaing. The people are so humble. The guy didn't sell anything all day but is still praising God (5.57).

A great showpiece by the film maker and Al Jazeera for showing it. We need to go out and learn things from different cultures and people. Sky and BBC just want to show us bullsh*t.

By just watching this clip I learnt a lot from Abdullah. Very polite and intelligent human being.

Ohhh abdullah is so intelligent and amazing i wish i could buy all his jewellery so he can help his village...i hope he's still in school and living well.

[lindakool69]

I was there! And I'm truly sorry I didn't run into Abdullah, I would have sold some of his jewelry! Nice video (missed Tinariwen though...), you might also want to check out the video report the Guardian (UK) made, look at their site!

Thank you for sharing this. Abdullah is in my thoughts and prayers.

Oh that was very refreshing to watch and learn. Abdullah (the little boy),was pleasantly surprising with his level of thinking,matured and well balanced, he understands some of the basic and most important philosophies on life; at some point i wish if i was there to buy his jewelery. Well done Keep it Up Abdullah!
