Helping Malnourished and Disabled Children in Guatemala

[chilichickSantaFe]

Thanks for your unsolicited opinion.

I gave $100.00 to this cause.

[TheProductionPure]

for everyone who is arguing about region and politics on here take a second and clear your head a bit. Is this the place to honestly sit and argue about whose fault it is why there is suffering all around the world? Are the churches and leaders of politics the ones who bring about disease are poverty? The answer is NO. Instead of trying to point a finger into the dark and finding someone to blame why not try to band together and fight against it yourself. V CONT. V

[TheProductionPure]

NO SINGLE PERSON OR GROUP OF PEOPLE IS TO BLAME FOR THINGS LIKE THIS!!! If anyone is to blame it is YOU. YOU who would rather argue than help. YOU who would rather point your finger and close your eyes at the true people to blame. if you would just stop everything right now, and make some calls to your friends, your family, people you work with, and just ask for 10-5-1 dollars from everyone you know and then donate it yourself, wouldn't you be doing better than all this arguing? YOU CAN HELP !!!

[jackhair311]

Wow , I'm so blessed;)!

[italia9284]

you are all ignorant...you are speaking without thinking about what you are all saying

[PepeLeWunderkind]

0:50 made me lol

[pancakehead911]

To think of all the people in America who complain about their country and call it so horrible. Your ignorant ass doesn't know what horrible is.

[pineapple1969]

This man is an angel.

[chilichickSantaFe]

I gave $100.00 too. I hope it helps one person.

Arguing petty disputes just takes your mind of their problem. Donate money instead and be grateful for all you have. Be one of the 8% who make a difference.

[Destinay4lyf]

@chilichickSantaFe It is more modest and rewarding when you don't share with the world that you are being helpful by giving money. It is kind of you though.

[lmh7015]

although this doesnt relate to the people getting wheelchairs, many do not know, but guatemala is a very poor country. when people think of poor countries they mostly think of africa's countries, but recently i went to guatemala, and i saw many poor people with not a lot to eat or drink. but what i loved was that they were HAPPY. there were stray dogs around and they would feed them out of the goodness of their hearts even if they didnt have a lot of food. be grateful for what you have people!

[Killer0fTheSun]

@georgedalpe

My point excatly....when provided with certain alienable truths you act as if you are a child

[afterapplepicking]

I wonder what percentage of the money that the culture that crawls charity receives actually goes to the kids, and how much is spent on their headquarters and managerial staff and all that.

Too many charities take in a lot of money supposedly for the needy, build themselves a marble-encrusted headquarters/palace, and pay their top level executives 7 figure salaries.

[TheDesertsItalian]

This is goddamn sad....

[DaGoldC]

even santa claus take time out of his busy schedule to help the needy

[syyenergy7]

They show this stuff and they say "give". And it goes to "professional" , lying, slimy scum who take a huge fee for crap and never cure anything. A lot of these could probably be cured or improved greatly with herbal treatments in combination with DMSO. Very cheap stuff too. Wake up Amoebaecan, hateful, donut-eating fake-Christians.

[4673rb]

Ignore all the stupid opinionated comments below. this man is doing something while we all type around on a computer in our climate controlled homes. Stories like this should be on the evening world news. i would actually watch the news then....

[eterpe1]

this will not solve any problems, this just creates more dead weight in countries that cant afford it, another short term solution to a long term problem, someone needs to stop that guy, maybe it will be me

[kalkaline]

@eterpe1 What are you doing to fix the problem? Don't criticize this man's efforts if you are not willing to do a better job than him.

[erk417]

OOPS! I didn't realize the administrators were catholic. They completely removed my post. Censorship at it's worst....

[CarlaMills]

We have nothing at all to complain about after watching this !!

[erk417]

It really makes me sick that things like this go on in our world, while all these celebrities rake in millions a year. They put on a show of "helping people" every now and then, but if all of these greedy pieces of shit gave up just a little of their wealth, imagine what could be done! Do they really need 12 houses in the French Riviera? but they smile to the cameras in their $12,000 dresses and thank everyone for giving them more money than they know what to do with.... AND WE GIVE IT TO THEM!!

[Zalahblue]

@erk417 Have you seen the properties of the Preachers in America? Check out youtuber Ringo4Life, he's constantly exposing the wealthy leeches in the name of religion in america.

[Killer0fTheSun]

Its utterly disgusting to know the Vatican which is worth hundrdes of billions in gold and currency does NOTHING despite the fact their own doctrine tells them to give all the riches to the poor. There are people in this video who cannot even afford a wheelchair and have to crawl yet the christians will say lets pray for them....instead of useless prayer how about money for actual useable medication,wheelchairs,beds and food and water instead of building useless and worthless churches.,

[McPresents]

@Killer0fTheSun What are you doing about it? Lets not blame everyone else, but start with ourselves instead.

[Killer0fTheSun]

@McPresents

I don't behold billions of dollars in riches McPresents if i had it would be spent on needy children and the rather sickly elderly in need of medical care.

[TheOmegaParadigm]

@Killer0fTheSun Don't be so quick to generalize. You started talking about the Vatican, but without missing a beat, your talk encompassed all of Christians and churches. Even without the Catholic faith, the Christian community still numbers in the hundreds of millions. You can't blame the largest organized religion in the world for the actions of a city that only houses six hundred people, among those being men that have let material wealth blind their original metaphysical aspirations.

[12combo]

@Killer0fTheSun Your so unkowning, and whats funny is you think your of knowledge

[Killer0fTheSun]

@12combo

Your persnonal opinion of me is about as useful as tits in a boar.

[12combo]

@Killer0fTheSun lol i didn't know it was supposed to be useful, you fool

[GershomSarShalom]

@Killer0fTheSun This Has been the nature of the Downfall of "The Church"...It went from The Believers putting their goods into a community fund and redistributing it,..Acts 5-6...To the Greedy Remnant of the Unholy Roman Empire...They used to Gather at the buildings that were there already, to the Mega Shrines of today...I have been virtually Homeless before, and few churches would help, Non-members..It Is easier for a Camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than a rich man to enter Heaven...

[Killer0fTheSun]

@GershomSarShalom

And most likely the Vatican is the abcess of the "prosperity gospel" which adorens in most every mega church here in america....there are churches (just not well known or as prosperous) that do give charity and are atcually helpful but im more talking in kind to the churchs that are the most propersous and of course the Vatican.

[Zergikun]

@GershomSarShalom Quote: "It Is easier for a Camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than a rich man to enter Heaven.."

How would you know? Only god can judge who can enter heaven and who can't, don't be a fool.

[BrokenLegendFilms]

@Zergikun No, I don't. I'm not old enough to have one.

Now let me have my irrelevant question.

What is your religion?

[Zergikun]

@BrokenLegendFilms I'm part christian part bhuddist, why are you even asking?

[BrokenLegendFilms]

@Zergikun I'll disregard how those religions have little-to-nothing to do with each other and conflict in nearly every other belief.

You must be very mature, as well. It seems you're arrogant enough to think your religion is true.

That only YOUR belief is true.

You're the equivalent of a little kid shouting No! whenever their mom tells them to go to bed.

Now, you may retort "I don't believe only my religion is true, many others may be."

You either have a religion or you don't. Believe or not.

[Zergikun]

@BrokenLegendFilms When did I say that a. I believe that my religion is true and b. that only my belief is true? Why are you making that up, are you stupid?

[GershomSarShalom]

[Zergikun]

@Killer0fTheSun Nobody has to give them anything. You're talking about the Vatican as if it's its job to make those people's life better, which it isn't.

[Killer0fTheSun]

@Zergikun

Your correct nobody has to give them anything but if your going to adhere to a set of prefernces and models which christ states " to follow him you must give to the poor"....then the Vatican is not "living" up to this very important command.

[Zergikun]

@Killer0fTheSun Who says that they don't give any money to the poor people at all? 1$ would be something too.

[feuna35]

@Killer0fTheSun  the church is just a holy business....

[Killer0fTheSun]

@feuna35

You won't get any arguement from me since i agree.

[musclechic2001]

@Killer0fTheSun - and if you can go to Catholic Relief Services website and prove to me they do nothing ...but you can't. Shame on you for putting down another faith because it is not yours.

[pineapple1969]

@musclechic2001 I was raised Catholic and agree they have the money and could be doing more for charity.

[Killer0fTheSun]

@musclechic2001

and shame on you for stating that i said all churches do this...since i did not...

[mmitchell171]

@Killer0fTheSun

Why are you blaming the Vatican and catholics? They are not the only ones with money and resources! Why is everything that goes wrong or not done blamed or rather heaped upon the catholics? Why can't YOU help these less fortunate? Where's your money going...to buy that extra value meal or that large coffee at StarBucks? It takes EVERYONE to help NOT just the catholics.

[Killer0fTheSun]

@mmitchell171

The Vatican has billiions upon billions of dollars and gold and arent they supposed to follow the teaching of jesus in give to the poor..

[McPresents]

@Killer0fTheSun You do not need to behold billions of dollars to make a difference. Have you not watched the video you have just commented on? This man does not have or need a billion dollars. All he has is a passion for making a difference in others' lives. And that is what is is doing! Jesus didn't ask the church to give to the poor. He asked the people.

[Killer0fTheSun]

@McPresents

My couple of dollars PALE in comparison to the hundreds of billions they behold...if they were about believing in helping the poor they wouldnt hold a single dime.Tell me....what do they need that money for then..and isn't the church a representative of the people....

[joehfletcher]

Christians are people, and as people do they fall short of their lofty goals. It's not an excuse, it's just reality. You were quick to criticize them for not giving enough, but could you give more yourself. I'm not saying that there aren't Christians who give more, what I'm saying is there are Buddhists, Muslims, Jews, and yes, aethiest that are just as guilty. This isn't a Christian problem, it's a human problem. If you're going to criticize one then you should criticize all..

[joehfletcher]

Instead of criticizing capitalism, Christians, or anyone else I believe it's far more constructive to follow the example of the 19 year old (TheProductionPure) and do what YOU can do to help.

[Killer0fTheSun]

@joehfletcher

Joe this is simply a deflection of the issue here,tell me Joe...what does the Vatican need hundreds upon hudnreds of billions for anyway.....they should lead by the example of their christ.Give to the poor....

[MsNeoDraven]

@blomstersenter Just cut it out. Seriously.

[TheProductionPure]

I am 19 years old,and I live in America. I have a family that supports me everyday with a house and everything i need to live. Being 19 i can't say that i have the best life but it's certainly nothing like this; this its self is horrible to watch and brought tears to my eyes. I know i can't change the world but I can at least help one person so i'm going to donate 100$ to the P.E.T. next week. Now think, if a teenager with a minimal wage job can do it, what can you people do?

[Eyespychica]

@TheProductionPure I love knowing you are young with a heart and mind like yours. Just be sure to make sure you donate to a legitimate organization out there, not just one that has commercials and logos :-) People scam through things like this as well. Glad to know you're so caring.

[TheProductionPure]

@Eyespychica thanks for the comment, i'll be donating to the P.E.T which is a fully legitimate organization that helps needy disabled people all around the world with transportation as shown on this video. I also try to donate to P.E.T.A and a few other good charities out there when i can in between saving up for college and what not.

[georgedalpe]

@TheProductionPure Good point. But most dipshit liberal Americans would rather blame the church or big business than have to do something about it themselves. Nice to see that you're not a moron.

[TheProductionPure]

@georgedalpe yeah, you don't need to be rich or important to make an impact in someone's life, all it takes is a little bit decent good hearted charity. i could go buy 2 xbox360 games or possibly save a life, i'll choose to save a life this week.

as for the liberals they do have valid points, when's the last time you saw the pope or high ranked clergy officials starving or hurting on money?

[enterthafatass]

@TheProductionPure I can tell you to stop being such a self righteous moron.

[BrokenLegendFilms]

@enterthafatass Not self-rig-

Fuck it, I'm not going to explain anything.

You're just a dull-minded greedy insensitive failure of a human being.

Stop trolling and go get a job, you stupid fuck.

[Zergikun]

@BrokenLegendFilms I assume with your childish behaviour you yourself do have a job?

[BrokenLegendFilms]

@Zergikun That's irrelevant.

[TheProductionPure]

@enterthafatass "I can tell you to stop being such a self righteous moron." A. i'm nowhere close to being on the path of self righteousness, and 2 what makes you think even in the slightest bit that i'm a moron?

[NzRasengan]

i lold hard

[ageisold]

This video is rather disrespectful towards the truth.

The woman stating that birth defects have no environmental factors (not the mothers' fault).

The man stating that poverty could be completely eliminated through charity alone and that implicitly there are no systematic issues causing poverty (if 8% of the Christains in this world were to reach out, there wouldn't be one starving child...).

[EmperorofCartoons]

@ageisold Exactly. They completely, outright lied about these issues. The current socioeconomic system prevalent in the world (Capitalism) is designed to create exactly this, by rewarding the few at the cost of the many (These poor souls.). And many birth defects are the result of improper care during pregnancy and exposure to toxic environments.

Even though this video is critical of the church, make no mistake it is rife with right wing propaganda (Charity, not change, will save us.).

[trueleroix]

@EmperorofCartoons "(Capitalism) is designed to create exactly this, by rewarding the few at the cost of the many" In my observations and what I have read about history, this is the exact opposite of truth. It seems that free markets have always provided the most for the most needy, while systems further toward the socialist end of the spectrum require keeping these people down, and they do just that very efficiently. I'll cite history if you will (first assertion was yours.)

[truthslap]

@trueleroix Please do cite history, because I think your historical perspective is limited. Most serious students of history and politics understand the history of labor, and the capitalist forces against organized labor, the way they've used physical, economic, and psychological forces against the working class for countless generations. Examine the history of strike busting here in America, examine America's foreign intervention against working class political parties since WWII, etc.

[trueleroix]

@truthslap Thanks for saving me the trouble.

[felicianomiko]

@EmperorofCartoons "(Capitalism) is designed to create exactly this, by rewarding the few at the cost of the many." How do you define capitalism? Because this statement makes no sense, so I have to assume that you are defining the term in a different way than I am. The idea behind capitalism is to provide goods and services for a profit, not to oppress your main market in such a way that they can not afford to buy your goods and services. You are seeing SOCIALISM or COMMUNISM at work here.

[truthslap]

@felicianomiko EVERY developed country besides the United States has socialized medicine. This isn't the place for politics, but you are absolutely wrong that you are seeing socialism here, these kids are starving and debilitated BECAUSE their countries are not developed and have no socialism.

[felicianomiko]

@truthslap If you don't think this is the place for politics then why did you bring it up? Blaming capitalism for the woes of the third world is a political statement. And socialized medicine, isn't pure socialism, so that argument is impartial. I also included Communism in that statement, which you don't mention. Why does Capitalism as an economic system cause poverty? You say it, but offer no reasons to support your argument.

[felicianomiko]

@truthslap (Continued) I disagree because I have seen no evidence that Capitalism causes poverty. I have seen it promote wealth and prosperity in every country in which it is tried. Australia, almost all of Europe, Canada, Japan, even China had to start allowing Capitalistic ideas into their economic structure or face failure. If you make people work for the state and take nearly everything they earn, why would they work?

[truthslap]

@felicianomiko I have to agree with the person below, we are taking the focus off the real problem (poverty) and the real solution (donations). the last thing I will say on the political discussion is that real socialism or communism has never really been tried, as it's always co-opted by power hungry individuals. socialism is a people's movement, a movement against racism, for the minimum wage, and against systemic disparity and exploitation. there is no state or coercion involved in socialism.

[felicianomiko]

@truthslap Again, I disagree, the political climate is what crated this situation. Donations will help in the short term, but it will not solve the problem, changing the political climate will solve the problem. Socialism is a political system and is always enforced by a governmental body, no matter how it came to be implemented.  In America We the People implemented a Republic. Socialism isn't the only 'people' driven system of government. And the mob isn't always right.

[felicianomiko]

@truthslap And again, you brought up the political discussion by accusing Capitalism of causing this poverty, but you are trying to deflect the discussion away from your own point. Can you not support this assertion? Then why make such a claim if you can not defend it rationally? And the economic viability of a state is directly effected by its governmental policies. So if the government of Guatemala is corrupt, it doesn't matter what system it is running, people suffer. Politics again.

[ageisold]

@EmperorofCartoons Capitalism is able to bring about the improvements in well being that people want. It requires that some people suffer in order to bring this about. This is simply a necessary element of its operation.

To switch to another system altogether will probably cause more disruption to the people anyway.

that woman, Amy, is not entirely right..

the mother's actions does cause birth defects or give birth to people with disabilities. drinking, smoking, eating fish with high mercury content, drugs, and etc etc can disrupt development.

of course, many times.. there isnt much you can do. the other half is genetics or errors in development. its unfortunate
