Inspired by the 40-hour-famine video I spent an afternoon making this video.
The young Cambodian girl you can see at 3:00 is one of many who wander about the streets of Sai Gon begging. They are sometimes brought there by their parents, and sometimes they are sold by their parents to professional beggers in Cambodia, and then brought to Vietnam....

  • i was all for this video till right at the end. poverty has nothing to do with god! if there was a god, he sure as hell aint helping those poor bastards is he? the only help they're gonna get is off average joe, NOT god and definately not that waste of time president America has at the moment!

  • I partly agree with you, but how can the average joe help them if nobody in power takes active steps to really do something about this problem...

  • i know, im not saying that people in power shouldnt help, i just think that theres such a strong sense of greed in the '1st' world that i dont think they could really care less about those suffering in poverty. it would be nice to see someone step up and take action, rather than talking about action.

  • Unfortunately you're right about the sense of greed...Furthermore, global warming and international terrorism have become the main issues in our society, and even if these problems didn't exist, I'm sure we would find other subjects regarding 'problems' in the 'first world' rather than turning our attention to problems in the third world...

  • I really hope that people like Bush will do something about child poverty... But leaders like him are not the only problem, it's also the media that broadcasts what people watch, and not what really matters.

    If you type in 'child poverty' in youtube right now, you'll get 2,630 hits. If you type in 'President Bush', you'll get 110,000...

see all
