Just saw Hugh Evan's 1.4 Billion Reasons presentation in Toronto today. I thought it would be a dark and depressing message about the mess we are in, but in fact it was pretty uplifting! Progress has been made on poverty and Hugh really energizes the audience to do more. It was an emotional ride, too. Thanks to Centennial College for hosting this eye-opening event!

Thank you for what you are doing. I have been thinking a lot and this is a topic that has been on my mind. Good job.

Let's aim for everyone being happy and free. That's a bigger goal and it will be better.

corruption is also present in charity orgs and countries baling out banks are basiclly paying for their own individual success so just more corruption

I agree with this video up until they showed South Korea as a transformed society. South Korea has yet to be a soveriegn nation apart from U.S. imperialist ambitions, and we don't want another model of the U.S. It is our unsustainable practices of consumption and production that continues to leave the rest of the world in impoverishment including our own U.S. we need to change our lifestyles while we are simultaneously pushing policy change and distribution change.

You can't understand poverty without understanding imperialism. I met someone the other day who believes in this project but supports the imperialist war against Afghanistan.
