The Power of 26

[sicarius100]

So, acquire 26$, buy tomatoes from farmer, walk to a slum, sell said tomatoes overpriced to poor people who can't walk to the farmer, profit, convince poor people to give you more money, open clinic, sell health services to said poor people, profit, get reputation as the only clinic in said slum, more sick people show up, profit more, build larger clinic, profit, enlarge clinic with said profits, profit some more. Everything is possible when you have some Tomatoes and poor people with money.

[Guds777]

@TBIbrodcasting and the cost to commute with a train or a car eat the rest. FUCK CAPITALIST FASCIST CRIMINALS GOVERNMENT., VIVA SOCIAL REVOLUTION.

[hoosierhiver]

Check out Kiva, microloans can change lives

[T3HNaMe]

@TBIbrodcasting So true.

[AaandrRL]

utopia



[Seiferzed]

after watching this video i stole the tomatoes my father brought home and went out to sell them .. and well , it actually doesn't work that way ....

[WeCanHazLove]

@Seiferzed I highly doubt you did that. and I also highly doubt you are living in a town like Tabitha was because you would have no internet thus no way to troll a lovely video such as this.

[Seiferzed]

@WeCanHazLove you didn't catch the phrase where i said " it actually doesn't work that way " and you know what ! hearing the word troll is starting to get pleasant because of people like you throwing it at every chance they got , now when someone calls me a troll i know i said the right thing so cheers ; )

[FrozoneNetworks]

Read the book? Hell no. Just go on Kiva and invest in someone for $25 :)

[mikkelme]

Sooo, the answer to end poverty and thus drought and starvation... is tomatoes?

[pakman6497]

whats best is that she looks so happy doing something so good

[SteveSacred]

@hrock2z I better start re watching ray's video's again then. sorry.

[Jiggystokes]

fuckin America

[nsmithssp]

and it was comparative advantage and free trade that allowed her to "undercut the competition" in order to turn that $26 into a real amount. without those she would never get anywhere. if the 99% want to get behind something, it should be to take down trade restrictions.

[goodison1989]

@nsmithssp trade restrictions are the only reason the US still manufactures anything at all...

[SCX2k]

wow tomatoes can make you a furtune

I'll invest next in that

[bmariani77]

stupid propaganda!

[SuperrChecka]

26 dollars and a whole lot of selflessness.

[tstrick16]

My ten dollars invested turned into an energy drink business which was then shut down after I had banked a couple hundred and was confiscated. Dreams of me finally being able to afford things crushed. Thanks.

[FlaxenHairedBeauty]

Interesting...

[MrCrashBandicoot25]

$26 will just go to the corporation's pocket.

[SteveSacred]

@hrock2z believe in what you want to believe. i believe its real.

[SteveSacred]

@hrock2z google tabitha's clinic

[Paymenow75]

If she is treating patients - who's selling tomatoes?

[SteveSacred]

@hrock2z Its not fake and its impossible to be gay

[pambowell]

Madonna built herself on less than $40.

Sir Alan Sugar started off with £10

everyone started from somewhere right?!

[inkonmetal]

beautifully animated and wow a true story to boot

very nice and inspiring

[galenlynore]

SFU 1%!

[TheTruth006]

This video was made with 27 dollars.

[latenightwithstoney2]

thats a beatiful thought have to remeber that next time i donate money to the organazations lol naw great video

[Kotzpua]

No public money black scum.

[Kotzpua]

No public money black scum.

[Kotzpua]

We can love white, but they do not ... Think about it and just walk around the streets of their cities. Do not believe Televiedeniyu. We are white and we are dying. They rest of the world and they kill us. Advertising and promotion affects your head. Do not believe them!

[dannemp]

@Kotzpua Ti hotel skozati we, white, can love? a to tac polu4aetsea sho mi mojem liubiti belih, a ne mi, belie, mojem liubiti!

[Kotzpua]

Мы Белые можем любить, а они нет... Подумайте над этим и просто пройдитесь по улицам своих городов. Не верьте Телевиедению. Мы Белые и мы умираем. Они весь остальной мир и они нас убивают. Реклама и пропаганда воздействует на ваши головы. НЕ ВЕРЬТЕ ИМ!!!

[OptimisTroller]

Why dont you trollers have a better mindset? -.-

[RecordingNBAHistory]

Bullshit...

[Nibiru2O12]

YES! LETS SPREAD CAPITALISM!

[Catcherintherye11111]

The power of 1 dollar............let's you slide it down a sluts thong. giiggity!

[BitfeNicks]

She built her clinic but $26 wasn't enough, so she was forced to re use needles and gave everyone aids.

[foqsy]

stupid

[shaochiavang]

My birthday is on the 26th

[dburck82]

Silly internet, nurses don't go through med-school to sell tomatoes.

[Nationofhonor]

Good ole Capitalism, try that shit in China, and the government sends out thugs to "make sure your profits are fair" then you live the rest of your life as a slave of the system.

[Jb4207]

well it was the person that gave her the 26$ that really did something + I really don't think it happen like that, hard work, blood, sweat, and ALOT of free time.

[PleaseQuit]

ok

[Kotzpua]

You are morons. Dull amerikosy. What a difference you to Nigeria. Tens of thousands of white children TODAY DIE from hunger, disease and sexual harassment. And you keep thinking about Nigeria, which will grow and you will come to kill and rape your women ...

[shaochiavang]

@Kotzpua

Why can't we all just love one another.

[Kotzpua]

Вы дебилы. Тупые америкосы. Какая вам разница до нигеров. Десятки тысяч БЕЛЫХ ДЕТЕЙ СЕГОДНЯ УМИРАЮТ ОТ ГОЛОДА, БОЛЕЗНЕЙ И СЕКСУАЛЬНЫХ ДОМОГАТЕЛЬСТВ. А вы продолжаете думать о нигерах, которые вырастут и приедут к вам убивать и насиловать ваших женщин...

[MetalliacFeather]

who dislikes a charity that is like killing a puppy its funny for a sec than u cry

[jack91x]

Maybe in Africa. THat wouldn't work quite as well in America.

[ghostwound898]

what is $26? a HAND-JOB.

[meantism]

a pack of smokes, and 4 gallons of gas. not much.

[dark1evil2]

26$ hmmm lets see im gonna buy an ice cream

[YourSkyliner]

fucking asshole topcomments :-O

[tugia1]

freaking liberals....

[YourSkyliner]

@tugia1 fucking asshole republican :-O

[hoboX10]

There's a fatal flaw in this. "The community invests in her." That's relying on other people's money. The chance of that happening is slim.

[watch4ever]

@mminzes

Nice analytical skills

no sarcasm

[MrWolf154]

@mminzes Of course she did it, however, the point is she did it without huge funding. That with only $26 she was able to slowly build a wonderful clinic.

[KevitoKeviiBeats]

Fake/

[Imixred]

here in civilization you need a business license, and selling tomatos isnt going to front you the tens of thousands needed just for startup and rent.

[FirstTakeRDV]

Young people, this is nothing but Communist propaganda set to animation and fluffy music. Its not reality and would never work. If you dont believe me I invite you to try it.

[LetOurVoicesErupt]

Inspiring. Thank you so much! :) Veronica Haunani Fitzhugh

[rgre1]

Sure $26 is profitable, but Will It Blend?

[LetOurVoicesErupt]

@rgre1 blend with what?

[osamabu50]

what a motivating film.. but that's the past, now its all capitalism " rich get richer, poor get poorer"

[ccaian1]

Not going to watch your shitty film, not going to give a a shit about the children from wherever the hell that place is

[TEMPEWITNESS]

This is called capitalism, not to be confused with crony capitalism.

[ArchonMedia]

$26 to invest in an idea...? Must not be a very good idea.

[TheEverEssence]

Mother Tabitha!!!

[johnnyrocketisgod]

Why in the hell do i always have to read peoples opinions? I might as well be staring at assholes. Everybody has one of those too, and they all stink as well.

[gaminglaps]

@johnnyrocketisgod i bleach my ass sparkling clean

[HikilakasPortals]

@VisualPhilosopher This video is showing you don't neet a lot of money to do things you want, just use what you have wisely

[10txram]

Honestly I was hoping to learn about how to shop at a store for with 26 bucks (college student) rather than learn about some boot legged nurse

[MrSushiTheSuperModel]

wow this video was pointless to watch. flame war begin.

[groundbeef98]

nice animations you have here :)

[theonlylolking]

The way the economy is going $26 will only buy you one tomato.

[xXxDiukexXx]

holly sh** $26 for two cinema tickets is expensive :S

[inurfaceandcompany]

U think thats Amazing. U should see the power of 27.

[langhalsen]

Usually stuff is cheaper in slums so I don't get how to make a profit of that.

[cliffyyffilc]

@d1duck

Apparently

[NeoxideMolten]

Take $26 and make a successful business out of it? But I was taught in public school that Capitalism is evil. Why make a business and work to success when you can go down to WallStreet and complain about not being entitled to money, and protest while someone else supports you.

[freddybgbg]

@NeoxideMolten This kid's a class A economist.

[Douha75]

Great film :)

[cliffyyffilc]

@d1duck

You've got quite a following here. Was that your intention? JAKJAKJAKJAKJAK. TWO enthusiastic thumbs up!!! BTW, where & when are you going to hang out your shingle again or is the world not ready?

[d1duck]

@cliffyyffilc I was trying to distribute quality medication to people in need. Seems like our country has outgrown good intentioned individuals who try to make a difference in their community.

[mkljackson50]

it seems like she takes everyone's money lol

[MadMabinogi]

watch a movie called 맨발의 꿈 (A Barefoot Dream. 2010) it relates to this

[MadMabinogi]

How beautiful! The power of a woman being able to trade in Africa. Oh no no says the western woman. Women there don't need free trade.... they need freedom of speech, freedom to vote, freedom to wear a skirt, and the freedom to do whatever they want! :o how stupid

[emryfya]

awww thats so cute

[zoelynnshae]

That was an interesting video :-D Thank you for sharing it. 

[BlueSuperNova88]

a nice movie, however, i am against this "friendly" capitalism model shown in this clip.

[Nevaine]

two movie tickets is not $26, wtf

[aznxblaze128]

@Nevaine try watching a movie in LA.

[jonjon1333]

@Nevaine yes it is.

[phnixp0t]

lolll..  naive

[MrCpe9775]

I invested one time. 10,000 real dollars. the market tanked and I lost all.

[zsundii]

Aw this video is so cute. when i found out tabitha was a real person it really brought my hopes up :) thank you

[LOLWTFBBQz]

How can you profit from tomatoes in the slum? Not like theres a lot of money to go around and you'd have to buy the tomatoes from the slum to get the cheap ones to sell anyway

[Blahblahbox1]

this was great

[MrCristoKelm]

@d1duck

Forbid anyone from illegally saving your life, then.

[MrDeltaDuke]

this is kinda stupid,

this is a very specialized/specific type of example in the community trying to pass it as a solution

[R2green3]

Well she got big because she lives in africa not lots of hospitals in africa

[differentandalike]

interesting. YOU SYMBOLIZE HOPE

[mdadnan]

$26 are worthless to all of you but not in Nairobi. You all missed the point, for some people water is more precious than gold.

[Zombi3Bwans]

well a giant building is now a clinic.

[MUN0P0LY]

im going to buy stock in the "Tabitha Clinic" how many shares will $26 dollars get me?

[Xarieus]

Good luck with that... If you try to sell tomatoes, nobody will buy them. They seem to forget that people still need to buy. Its not like you pull a tomato bucket out of your ass for $26 and you're rich. Also tomatoes go bad so unless you sell them in a few days there goes investment.

[IAmKr1gg3r]

The thumbnail led me to believe that this video was going to be about how she sell seashells by the seashore.

[puppyem]

how could anyone dislike this?!?!

[wrathkilla]

But what if the slums can't buy my tomatoes, and they get rotten instead!

[twistaa95]

oh..... shes a black person

[dapoet200]

@twistaa95 What's your point?



[xBrian6]

How muchh of a profit can u possibly make with 26$ worth of tomatoes? lol. And lol why 26$ worth and why tomatoes

[Lius525]

discovering capitalism huh?

[PowerfulLeopard]

At the end it says watch the movie...... but shouldn't I spend the $26 on buying tomatoes instead of 2 movie tickets?.........

[cangriman0101]

There's a guy in my town that has been selling fresh vegetables in his bicycle since I can remember, tomorrow I'll ask him where's his hospital.

[sam86samss]

too bad tomatos is illegal in my country...

[farkeyledim5168]

hoş



[axperutyunify]

YANI INCH

[TheForgottenEagle]

As soon as I heard the word "profit"... All benevolent intentions were thrown out the window.

[t6yz]

Singapores a bit of a hierarchy shithole

[kentaokabe]

You should realized that $26 in Kenya is not of the same value in US, UK, Canada, France, Japan and other first world nations.

Even if you sell tomatoes for a whole year in US, you won't be able to invest to build a clinic or hospital.

[MrBanditK]

If i buy the book and buy movie tickets ill be short 26$

[mzrealm]

I tried selling tomatos in the slum and got robbed instead. Thanks for ruining my life.

[stalingrad32]

@mzrealm

they took your $26 dollars... that sucks

[BluMonkiSpartan]

@mzrealm your an asshole and your jokes are not funny...

[TheNova5]

aw the power of capitalism

[d1duck]

In my country it is illegal to practice medicine without a license.

[MRpopTARTSareYUMMY]

@d1duck Because people can die...

[d1duck]

@MRpopTARTSareYUMMY Exactly! If you tried to do this in the US you would end up in prison and being sued for way more than $26.

[MRpopTARTSareYUMMY]

@d1duck I know i live there, I think this is more for countries abroad because they need ut more

[BluMonkiSpartan]

@d1duck thats why your not the person in this video...

[d1duck]

@BluMonkiSpartan It's "you're" and I went to prison for practicing medicine without a license. I was only trying to help people and here you are being negative about a simple factual statement.

[BluMonkiSpartan]

@d1duck well your first comment seemed very derogatory...im just saying the person in this video is highly laudable

[d1duck]

@BluMonkiSpartan The fact that practicing medicine without a license is illegal in my country is very derogatory? I think you're seeing the reflection of your negativity. I agree that she seems to be doing lots of good in her community.

[tokee1234567]

@d1duck well she's a nurse and laws can be different there. in the US nurses can practice if they go to graduate school and get a nurse practitioner license

[d1duck]

@tokee1234567 That's why I said "In my country".

[Lorexbg]

this is interesthing sadly most ppl miss the point

[Drewrrules]

She poisoned the tomatos which is why she got so many patients in the beginning.....

[erictheactorsactor]

$26 = $20 bag of weed, 1 dutchmaster, 2 vitaminwaters----->Fuck the community!

[boredandhungryTV]

@erictheactorsactor haaaaaaaa

[ZachF0X]

this is fucken confusing.

They ASSUME people will invest in this cunt

[SmokingMethodz]

So this means 26 dollars is enough to cure all the poor people from AIDS ?

[lPorkChops]

I'm sorry but when a guy randomly gives a girl $26...she is probably a prostitute.

[snoopy210190]

yeah i wish bill gates would give me his lunch money. around $10 mil would be enough to start.. how you call it.. 'investing in the community' lol

[calito0010]

I though it was in the United States XD, but Tabitha Atieno-Festo is Chuck Norris

[fix520]

Good luck trying to sell tomatoes here in the U.S, you probably will die of hunger.

[xHassassin]

$26 + a medical degree (Approx value ~$100,000+)

[JetLash494]

20 people bought apples instead of tomatoes...

[AbGretsch]

bull shit.. i can do this with 25 bucks..

[noideaguy]

omg this is so fuckin inspiring !!!

[preciouslilheart]

Why is everyone saying $26 this $26 that..? this is trying to make out that you can help out with 'something' better than things you over spend on.. so with the help of $26 you can change, also help the people that need help. This woman is amazing & does what many people wouldn't do to help their community / people.
