Do you know what living in extreme poverty is like? Meet Kaisong, a typical girl from Laos (in South East Asia). She has dreams like everyone else but she's got a day-to-day battle infront of her just to survive.

  • CYEPADAECK: I think is humorous that you try to make a statement about unfair justice in comparison with Christianity. I hope you realize throughout history Christianity has made a bloody gruesome impact on cultures and colonies. Beheadings and torture for those that refuse or question Christiantiy.

  • We don't think we should let the actions of the past determine our current or future responses to poverty. As Christians or non-Christians.

  • The 7 Dislike for despising the poor and poverty shall wear in their own shoe when the time and place is ripe.

  • Chrsitians fundamental teaching is absolutely right as the same as buddhism. The people who use the name of christian name and do evil deed. They will deserve bad karma in return. Anyway i am buddhist from Soka Gakkai. What i know abt christian is the same as buddhist who love people with passion and help, save, preach for the most need and the least. So stop saying Christian is evil!! Is the Human are the evil not christian bible book!!!!

  • Has anyone from the video been back to Laos since this video was made? Any money raised? Can you tell me if there's been an updated video or photos? Thank you for sharing :)

  • i hope the rapid growth in technology will be able to feed these people and provide them with plenty of water

  • I was born there, live there for 10 year of my life. I learn how to cook, clean and help out on the farm when I was 6 years old. I live day by day because of where we live. We don't have the things like most people have in life but, we're happy. I was a few lucky people that made it this far in life. I will never forget where I live or where I was born but, I will always try to get better in life everyday.
