Dance to Survive, If you saw Slumdog Millioniare / The Tibetan Photo Project

We caught this sequence in the Tibetan community of Majnu Katilla in Delhi while filming "Visually and Respectfully Yours - The Story of The Tibetan Photo Project.". In the full context of the film, we discuss the Tibetan community in exile as it fits into the fabric of life in India. We have posted this as a stand alone to help bring awareness of the plight of millions of Indian children who survive alone on India's urban streets. Total film running time: Approx. 1 hour, 12 minutes www.tibetanphotoproject.com

The world has poored billions apon billions of money into needy countries, and nothing has changed. The problem isn't, over population, not enough food, or jobs... is all about distribution.

Iasfan, thanks for the response, the problem and the solution is never just one thing.

The world has poored billions apon billions of money into needy countries, and nothing has changed. The problem isn't over population, not enough food, or not enough jobs... is all about distribution. Their governments are keeping them this way, no matter how much others try to help. The political system is corrupt, the best way to help would be to fly down their yourself. Cut out the middle man, no fraud charity broadcast.

iasfanclub, Perhaps you should visit. Problems of this magnitude are never one thing or one solution. Thanks for sharing your view.

Ah then what can we do to help? I want to see poverty end as well. Please I must know what can we do? The children are beautiful and they deserve much more then what they have. Their future is in the hands of this generation. How do we fix poverty?

Ultimately, everyone needs to add whatever ability, money, plolitcal will they have. Ending poverty will not happen on good wishes and symbolic gestures.

We see this numerous times in a day.India is developing and money is slowly trickling to lower classes. I'm hopeful that in another 10 yrs, we won't have such poverty. Someone suggested that parents this poor should not give birth. As a fact, no. of children per family in poor families is over 4. And according to Indian principles, you cannot force anyone on such issues. Only way to solve is to educate the parents and Indian govt. is doing it but, with such huge population, it will take time.

and we have millions of people living lavish in the other part of the world who simply cares only for their Lexus or bmw...cigar 50" tv

I would be interested in hearing a bit more about this "distribution" theory. Can anyone direct me to a resource that could tell me more about the influences of power in these countries?

Thanks!

Thanks for raising awareness :)

Wow.... the video resolution wasn't very good quality but the message is still incredible. It's amazing how many needy children there are in the world and here we Americans are spending thousands on "in vitro" fertilization treatments for our own selfish satisfaction of procreation... and we thought it was all about Africa.
