Thanks for posting this. It's beautiful. I'm sorry for the jerks who can't see past themselves and their own limited views. What is happening with Alyssa's wish is beautiful; if we all realized that we are ALL a part of the most important race of all, the human race, maybe such ignorance would dissipate.
So much ignorance here. Alyssa is someone willing to help people, she should be applauded, the maker of this video should be applauded as well for spreading the word & kindness. Second of all Alyssa has done a lot for American people as well. Volunteering at homeless shelters in LA, New Orleans after hurricane Katrina and helped building homes there. She is right we're one people, stop hating. Alyssa is not just compassionate but smart as well.. If she says a charity is trust worthy it is.

yea its sad that they dont have water, THEY LIVE IN THE FREAKIN DESERT! the money should be used to move their asses away from the desert. They're starving, cant grow vegetables or crops, NO SHIT ? THEY LIVE IN THE FREAKIN DESERT! What we need to send them is a bunch of C-5 airplanes to haul their asses away from the DESERT where even plants can't survive

I'm fine with helping people that are here already, but more money should be pumped into birth control instead of these people that can't even take care of themselves continuing to have kids they can't take care of. I'm not trying to be a dick, it's simply the truth.
The charity goes and builds wells, 100% of the money being raised with Alyssa's birthday wish will fund wells. Charity:Water funds over head through private donations separately. Birth control is a personal decision not a political one. I understand you aren't trying to be a d*** but would ask you to think about the issue a little more.
I have blocked a user and just wanted to state that if you are only here to spread racist, hateful comments I will block you. I am all for intelligent discuss and respect peoples rights to have opinions different than mine. I will NOT be a party to spreading hate, there's enough out there already. I didn't remove the comments because I believe we learn from both the good and the bad in life .
this video is so cool! ive done my bit for alyssas birthday! would love to go out to one of these countries one day! hope you dont mind me asking, what software did you use to make this video? is brilliant, well done!
Thank you for the nice comments. I used iMovie, it's a very easy program and I am still learning. I am also learning to use a program called Final Cut.
Thanks, i got imovie on my computer, just never used it (only got laptop a week ago lol) may have to go and have a play!! can you believe how much money alyssa has raised!!!!! she smashed her goal... 3 times!! and alot of that is probably thanks to this video and others like it!! :)
I didn't know that. Thanks for letting me know. I just believe people should help one another. EVERYONE is capable of helping- with time ,money, a kind word, a random act of kindness. It's really not that hard. I didn't know a lot about this problem before Alyssa's Birthday wish and I will be eternally grateful to her for that wish. It taught me a lot and I plan on doing more.

Imagine if a civilian ship comes the african horn with million pounds of Fried Chicken and Watermelons and than the Pirates take the ship hostage. Than a million dollars need to be paid to save the hostages while Fried Chicken and Watermelons was being delivered to the indigenous africans, THE HORROR THE HORROR
It must really hurt to carry so much Hate in your heart. Your statements are racist and defeatist. The sad thing is if you needed help, especially with something as basic as water, I would help you. Not because you DESERVED it, but because you are a fellow human in need.
Alyssa herself linked to this video. Thank you for making it. You should be so proud. I'm off to make another donation. By th way what is the name of the song used?
Thank you for your kind comments and the donation! : ) The song is I Was Here by Lady Antebellum. This really moved me, that something so simple could have such an impact.
I would love to see her get a million dollars in donations. I believe in dreaming big.
Do you know that in South Africa a woman has a better chance in getting raped than being literate. Do you know that 25% of South African men admit to raping a woman. With crime like that they need another Katrina.
Why Katrina Happened? God washed away all that sin in New Orleans away the violence, drugs, rapes, and robberies. This is not funny we are seeing apocalyptic signs
Jesus also said i dont come here to replace the laws or scriptures i come to fulfill it. So the laws of moses stand. Jesus also turned over the money changers, he is not a pacifist. Charity money goes to tyrants and thugs-Billions squandered.
U want to help? Put conditions and pressure on the thughs, the African Union itself is corrupt.
Here is a fact that you guys wont admit. You know that Africa has received 114 Billion in Aid between 1995-2002, and yet theyYet African countries have consistently ended up at the bottom of the United Nations Development Program's Human Development report, which measures life expectancy, gross domestic product per person, and literacy.
HOW? Because of corruption and warlords and thugs. Remember Seko and Abacho they stole billions. Help America-Africa is LOST CAUSE

We have Americans who need help here, we have millions in poverty and Africa is filled with corrupt leaders and genocide against christians. Let Oprah Winfrey and Bill Cosby take care of their own people. I prefer giving to catholic charities.
i was being trained by a black pastor and he told me that the Somali pirates had the right to take civilian hostages due to the fact that transporting ships didnt help Africa. THe fact is it was humanitarian missions and the Pirates still take them.
Remember Somalia? The US went to help and instead were seen as an occupation force. Africa is Genocide, Rape, Corruption. South Africa is Now FREE, look at the crime now?
Sorry, lets PUT AMERICA FIRST, help our homeless citizens first
My Grandfather is buried in Arlington National Cemetery. I am proud to be American and I help and volunteer regularly at home- with homeless organizations and PEOPLE, with youth groups, at church. If you can help, you should help. Because a government is corrupt it's people are unworthy of assistant- you really might want to read a little American history and rethink your views.
I can't donate cause I live in Europe ! :S If I would have some dollars I would donate !!
