Contaminated water! there are 140 million people in Bangladesh, so according the the "US" doctor the entire population of Bangladesh are drinking containated water. Shawn when you were there did you drink mineral water or did you boiled the water.
Both. I know you may think it offends your impression of Bangladesh - but the fact is the quality of water isn't that great in this country. And blood tests don't lie - my iron poisoning dropped as soon as I left the country.
I don't know about you but I am from there and I never had any type of contamination from water because I always boiled the water. And in our village we had tubewell, and the water did smell iron. I am talking about Chittagong, but I think you were in the Northern part of the country where there is Arsenic poisoning.
Now that I am back in Dhaka, I am using a special nanotech-filter I got from Vestergaard-Frandsen. That is helping somewhat.
And you are right - I've noticed iron tasting water in both northern areas and in southern areas (like Barguna).
And just let me say this - that MUM brand mineral water? Completely bogus crap. I'll never touch that stuff again. People told me it was the safest way to go but I think it contributed a lot to my iron poisoning.
Is that special nanotech-filter affordable, then maybe your project can distribute it to the poorest of the poor part of the country. And I agree with you, MUM is crap, the owner of MUM is a millionaire (in terms of dollars) and he became that the "short cut way". Corrupted people like him are holding back the country from its progress. Thanks for getting back to me so soon. I like what you are doing.
well the thing is evry individual at different parts of the world are adapted to their environment... so we get less effects from the iron poisoning than shawn does... we can tolerate the heat that they wont be able to. u can compare these between the needy n us in BD. its like biological
@igzibit - I'm not going to go around fighting poverty on one hand and drinking Evian water in the other. It's ridiculous the local water companies falsely claim their water is safe to drink when it contains high concentrations of heavy metals. Making sure local companies are held to account is a better solution than telling me to go around drinking imported drinks.
That's not exactly true igzibit. Iron isn't like a germ. Your immune system can (theortically) become biological immune to certain specific bacteria and viruses - but iron is a heavy metal. This is why iron and arsenic are known problems in Bangladesh. The effects of arsenic poisoning are well documented - but the effects of iron poisoning are less documented due to how the symptoms manifest itself.
Thanks ani19bd :) And, yeah, I don't trust MUM branded water anymore. I'm pretty sure they are the main culprit in my iron poisoning. I've avoided them since coming back and things are much much better thus far.
This is less a comment about the video (which I thought was good) and more a comment on the commentary. Two things occurred to me. First was there were many comments that regarded this as 'gods work'. While I believe this, people can also do good work and be agnostic or atheist. I've seen it. Second, the few brave hecklers could learn from leaving their home town for another country and experience life through a different cultural lens.

If this guy is trying to improve the lives of people who live in bad conditions then he should get all the support he can. Especially since most of us aren't will to do what he does.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
you sure do have a lot of ads on this video. Making money off exploiting the poor?
how about instead of flying there on vacations to film these people on the street, you should run for office there and turn the the city on its head. you know, make a real difference.
hey PointNerv - here's the deal. 1) I didn't go on vacation, I went specifically to help people. See related videos from my channel for more info. 2) I have enabled ads in this video in the hopes of (maybe one day) helping to cover the costs associated with this work. But even with all these ads, I have yet to cover even 1/10th of my travel costs - let alone costs associated with the resources and help I've been able to provide. Oh and all these medical problems? I pay out of my own pocket.
The sponsorship committment is $30 per month - giving hope to your new friend's dreams and providing a way for them to lift themselves out of poverty.
@SouthFacedWindows - I'm not. Any money I have earned from banner ads or whatever haven't even covered the cost of my first plane ticket to Bangladesh - let alone the cost of all the materials, supplies, and resources I've provided...
hey bahabdoulaye - this isn't *MY* good work. It's the good work of all those who have supported me. These videos are my way of connecting those who are a part of this to the impact they are having on the ground.
It could be a donation, it could be voting on what I do, or it could be lending support in a dozen other ways.
It's only when you realize that will you see it's not showing off - it's sharing with a community :)
Oh by the way bahabdoulaye - I just checked out your video on African stereotypes. I completely agree with you. Africa is often portrayed in the media is a desolate place full of poverty and suffering. It's true - Africa does have many challenges with extreme poverty, but it is also a place with development, progress, and a growing middle class.
In fact, I found some parts of rural Kenya to be MORE developed than any part of rural Bangladesh...
Thanks for educating me about ur project. sorry for the bad "showing off" term i used. As for the video, am glad u watched it. U no africa is rich but africans are definitely poor (a healthy majority). so i don deny dat. but people here and the media have used bad images depicting africa in the worst manner in order to get donations or something out of the American public. this has made it harder for an african to be proud of Africa. dats why am making such video to educate people about True AFR
hey bahabdoulaye - we're on the EXACT same page. I *hate* how charities show pictures of crying, poor (usually African) children with sad music in the background. Why? They want you to pity them, feel guilty, and send them a donation.
Portraying the poor like that is a huge insult and a disservice to truly ending poverty.
Tear drop...Tear drop...Sob...Sob...Things Like This Are Everywhere...Even in the US...Ive seen worse...these people have it good compared to what ive seen...I dont understand so horribly sad about that...And I also dont uderstand why whatever you did was sooo good..what exactly did you do...anybody can travel somewhere and tape a poor person...But i didnt see you help them any...
Thanks for being so polite. While there is definitely poverty in America - Americans have access to clean water at every faucet, every baby born is given free basic immunizations, and even if schools are underfunded and staffed - they still have a place to get an education.
There is a reason poverty in that part of the world is called "extreme poverty".
I so admire what you are doing, but I hope you will give serious consideration to the water issue your doctor brought up. You won't be able to help others if your liver fails.
i know americans are always the ones saying that they support the troops and all, we don't have that type of culture over here in Holland but I'm considering you to be in the front lines of the war against world suck. You are a very special individual, the best of luck on all your endeavors.
My parents think I'm not taking it seriously enough. My feeling is that there are 150 million people in Bangladesh and they drink the same water.
But, the doctor in this video did warn that iron poisoning/overload can lead to heart, liver, and kidney failure. I came back from Bangladesh with an iron level of 812. The charts doctors use only go up to 300 and even that is considered "excessive".
True, but what is the life expectancy and general health of those 150 million people? Please don't take all of our pushing the wrong way. We are all so in love with you and your project and would hate to see you get seriously ill. Besides, how will you be able to help if you're liver fails? What you do is one of the most inspiring things I've ever seen, but please try to balance your health with it.
Take care of yourself first. I believe that you have a true calling, but you can't continue your work if you get really sick. I'll support you as much as I can. I've watched you from the start and you've touched my heart. Thank You.
I'm sorry to hear about the iron poisoning. You are very brave, you know. I'll talk with some of our students about water purification projects and share this vid with them for inspiration.
you're just awe inspiring, and you make me feel ever so humble. i'll donate, give what i can and do what i can now because of you, you have changed a lot of lives over seas and here in America.
hey bro, sorry about your iron poisoning. It's just sad how people are over there and when i look at my peers drinking smoking weed and all those things it just anger me, they donot care for their lives why can't they switch all those lives for people who want them.
you may not be known much, you risk your life for others, in all people do not care what you do.
theres one thing every night you go to sleep and pray to God you don't feel stupid you feel and know that you are a great person!!
Shawn, I'm sorry to hear about your possible iron poisoning and it makes your decision to go back that much more inspiring. I'm excited to hear that you will be expanding your project to Kenya and cannot wait to follow your journey there as well. You have helped to remind me, and so many others on youtube, that a small deed can make a huge difference. Thank you. Thank you so much.
I've been subscribed to you for at least half a year now, and I must say, this is the video that really made me cry.
I'm sorry about your iron poisoning, but I think going back to Bangladesh was the right thing to do. I'd love to do what you're doing with your life, but right now I'm in no stable situation to go.
goddamitt, I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm really jealous of what you've done. You've made people aware just how fucking lucky they are.
Should be gone in a few hours. If anymore ads bug you - there should be an X or close button right on the ad itself.
I enabled ads because I do this project full time and YouTube and Adsense are my only sources of income. It's not much - I haven't touched a penny because of that. But you never know what the future holds.
Idk how you always seem to make me get goosebumps or even shed a tear once in a while.. but you do it.. its just a realiziation of how lucky i am.. and how much everyone takes for granted (including myself)
the scene u show in bagladesh just keep me thinking bout manipal,india...place where i studied before....the 1st time i resides there i constipated bout 1 weeks....can u believe that???
If it shows up again - please do let me know what the URL listed in the ad is (not where the ad leads to) so I can make sure it doesn't show up ever again.
"...to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you lived; this is to have succeeded." Ralph Waldo Emerson
This is just an excerpt from a quote which i think describes what you do perfectly. You are an inspiration to us all. Thank you
its awesome that your continuing to help the people who need it, but take some time to recover as well, i think kahlil gibran said something about even the vine must take from the earth so that it can give its fruits. or someting to that effect. basically i'm saying that make sure your in good condition to help, because if your going to help alot of people like i think you are your going to need your strength to do it. as always your a true hero man, what your doing is amazing
I cannot even begin to explain how amazing you and others who do this are. I don't have any money to donate and I don't exactly belive in the power of prayer but i want you to know that you will always have me looking to you as a great person and I wish you well on your trip to Kenya.
I appreciate the work that you are doing, and happy that you aren't giving on the people who needs help. May God Blessed you and the people around you, and those you touch.
I literally bought a camcorder, packed my bags, grabbed my laptop, and flew to Bangladesh. That's one of the reasons the project is called "uncultured" :)
i had the same experience when i came home from india. i had to stay in my room for a weekend cuz it felt too weird to be in such a wealthy environment
Shawn, allow us to help you take care of yourself. We know it's hard for you to use your life savings to help others, but there is no need to be so humble. Please set up a small fund for your personal/health expenses, so that our donations to your project are not in vain; especially if we cannot even sustain the man making it happen. You are there to represent the goodness in all of our human hearts, in an area where we many of us cannot give up our current lives to do so. Thank you.
Does that straw you showed me at the Plano TdN remove iron or just other contaminants - I am glad this project is continuing and I hope you get better.
It's a microbiological filter - it only removes dirt and biological stuff. It doesn't remove stuff dissolved in the water. So you can't use it to drink iron-heavy water, arsenic-laced water, or any other dangerous metals.
glad you're trip was a safe one. take care of yourself, though. you're doing important work, and you're health is important too, so keep an eye on yourself so you can keep doing that work.
Amazing to see the two worlds shown side by side. It really makes you think about how some people so little and others so much. Although I would consider myself middle class I am truly rich comparing to third world. I am so glad to be born in Canada, but because of your great work it inspires me to give, especially at this time of year.
You are just an AMAZING, LOVING, CARING, person! It is so shocking to look at the difference between the two world. I can't even fathom how you felt. Keep up the good work and it is Spreading on You Tube, which is so important.
i love everything your doing, its great to see that a few people still care! ill talk to my youth group about donating to your great cause : ) thanks!!!
Thanks! But I gotta stress that if you convince your friends to subscribe to the channel, rate some of the videos, and join the facebook group - that would be just as (if not more) important! The more momentum this project the bigger the impact we can all have :)
Perfect! Because I didn't even have to touch the money on that one - it went straight to the organization (Save the Children USA) I had teamed up with for my video called Challenge Poverty.

don't kill yourself dude. how bad is your iron poisoning?
nicktoller 3 years ago
My parents think I'm not taking it seriously enough. My feeling is that there are 150 million people in Bangladesh and they drink the same water.
But, the doctor in this video did warn that iron poisoning/overload can lead to heart, liver, and kidney failure. I came back from Bangladesh with an iron level of 812. The charts doctors use only go up to 300 and even that is considered "excessive".
UnculturedProject 3 years ago
True, but what is the life expectancy and general health of those 150 million people? Please don't take all of our pushing the wrong way. We are all so in love with you and your project and would hate to see you get seriously ill. Besides, how will you be able to help if you're liver fails? What you do is one of the most inspiring things I've ever seen, but please try to balance your health with it.

hey bro, sorry about your iron poisoning. It's just sad how people are over there and when i look at my peers drinking smoking weed and all those things it just anger me, they donot care for their lives why can't they switch all those lives for people who want them.
you may not be known much, you risk your life for others, in all people do not care what you do.
theres one thing every night you go to sleep and pray to God you don't feel stupid you feel and know that you are a great person!!

Shawn, I'm sorry to hear about your possible iron poisoning and it makes your decision to go back that much more inspiring. I'm excited to hear that you will be expanding your project to Kenya and cannot wait to follow your journey there as well. You have helped to remind me, and so many others on youtube, that a small deed can make a huge difference. Thank you. Thank you so much.
xokiikster 3 years ago
holy crap man.
I've been subscribed to you for at least half a year now, and I must say, this is the video that really made me cry.
I'm sorry about your iron poisoning, but I think going back to Bangladesh was the right thing to do. I'd love to do what you're doing with your life, but right now I'm in no stable situation to go.
goddamitt, I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm really jealous of what you've done. You've made people aware just how fucking lucky they are.
GOD BLESS YOU

Ya the ad is still there on my screen after the video...Meet bengali girls now...muslins4marriage I dont know what link you need tho to block it
cosgirl22 3 years ago
Should be gone in a few hours. If anymore ads bug you - there should be an X or close button right on the ad itself.
I enabled ads because I do this project full time and YouTube and Adsense are my only sources of income. It's not much - I haven't touched a penny because of that. But you never know what the future holds.

And yeah I finally saw that particular ad. It wasn't at all appropriate. Thanks for bringing it to my attention :)

its awesome that your continuing to help the people who need it, but take some time to recover as well, i think kahlil gibran said something about even the vine must take from the earth so that it can give its fruits. or someting to that effect. basically i'm saying that make sure your in good condition to help, because if your going to help alot of people like i think you are your going to need your strength to do it. as always your a true hero man, what your doing is amazing

Shawn, allow us to help you take care of yourself. We know it's hard for you to use your life savings to help others, but there is no need to be so humble. Please set up a small fund for your personal/health expenses, so that our donations to your project are not in vain; especially if we cannot even sustain the man making it happen. You are there to represent the goodness in all of our human hearts, in an area where we many of us cannot give up our current lives to do so. Thank you.

It's a microbiological filter - it only removes dirt and biological stuff. It doesn't remove stuff dissolved in the water. So you can't use it to drink iron-heavy water, arsenic-laced water, or any other dangerous metals.

Oh that is kind of disappointing - but at least it gets rid of the dirt and biological toxins. When is it that you go to Kenya?
