well I would have to disagree with you, with the small scale but I can agree it isn't always happening in Africa its all around the world. Which our current way we live and our governments should be changed to help others and to stop this awful greed that's making countries come to their ruins.

im not saying this is not happening all im saying that it is only happening in a small scale not large scale. ALL IM TRYING TO PROVE IS THAT THERE ARE HOMELESS POOR PEOPLE ALSO IN AMERICA AND THAT AFRICA IS NOT LIKE THE LION KING

now as for the skeletons thing,This video is talking about east Africa not Southern Africa(which would include Bots)People there are starving and you cant make that up,like i said before, do you think these pictures are made up?So tell me if im wrong but I don't think like this crisis could be made up.Whenin Bots. you may not see people who look like skeletons but tell me do you think most people have enough food to feed their children or do some of the children go to bed hungry

In the being i never said Botswana was a jungle, I know better than that. Do you really consider me an ingorant American? For real? Plus I dont own "safari clothes" and another thing I know that Botswana is "Modern" I do research and I have Friends from Botswana and in the areas surrounding Bots. Im studing aboard there in Jan. and when Im done with college I just might live there. I have a deep respect for Botswana's culture and all the cultures in Africa and around the world.

 yes you will see some street kids here and there but you wont see skinny people who look like skeletons, you will see how MODERN it is in Botswana. its not a jungle. P.S dont bring safari clothes you won't need them cuz its all concrete and roads

Maybe its about time you sit down and do some research and perhaps rethink about what you just said. Oh by the way I'm going to BOTSWANA. So when I see homeless people and starving people there in Botswana, I will inform you so that next time you may be accurate in what you say.

[KollaBears2010]

Well by the way I am going to Africa. you say that you never saw nor heard "Hungry helpless people"but they you go and say "yes there are people like that". So what are you trying to saying then? I got another question If you know so much, How can this be exaggerated? Do you think that these picture, these videos are made up for just the fun of it? Really.

I AM FROM BOTSWANA AFRICA I WAS BORN AND RAISED THERE AND I NEVER HEARD OR SAW ANY ''HUNGRY'' HELPLESS PEOPLE, YES THERE ARE PEOPLE LIKE THAT BUT IT IS ALL OVER EXAGGERATED BY AMERICAN(U.S.A) MEDIA JUST TO FOOL PEOPLE INTO DONATING MONEY FOR AN IMAGINARY CAUSE WHY DON'T YOU GO AND SEE HOW HEALTHY AND WEALTHY AFRICA IS WITH YOUR OWN EYES RATHER THAN BEING FOOLED BY WHAT YOU SEE IN THE MEDIA

I can not believe you! Yes theres homeless americans but at least theres resources to feed them.! There it's a famine, how would you feel if you had children and you were helpless to feed them? You would want help from organizations like UNICEF which are need of money to help these people.Sadly theres people that think like you. If the international community would have helped before it came to be a crisis then just maybe all these children wouldn't be suffering.
