He said he quit his job to do this. Anybody know how he's funding all this? If food were free, these people would already be eating.

If I met this person I'd probably cry if joy for what he does and thank him for bringing me more hope that one day our world can change for the good... Respect.

It doesn't have 3 million views because the majority of souls on this earth are still blindly favoring trivial entertainment and ego-based pursuits over the timeless and divine love of one another. When enough people wake from their spiritual slumber, when enough people value divine love over banal things, this video will be among the most viewed videos on earth.

This is a nice feel-good video, but it isn't journalism. CNN--really? Where's the journalist conducting a real interview? This video formatted to appeal to low-information people who won't ask such questions as: 1). what is the country's government doing--where are it's programs? 2). Is this person plugged into that, or at least some sort of NGO?

No matter how nice one person is, or two, or a thousand, it won't fix systemic issues such as hunger, homelessness...those take a society to fix.

And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. Matthew 25:40. This man is blessed, and I feel touched and humbled. If we had a fraction of his compassion, our world would have few problems. The enemy would be very weakened.

I believe after his recognition through CNN, and his story becoming viral, people all over the world are making donations to further support his mission. I think it is also important to realize that beyond the point of "if food were free, these people would already be eating", he is making a sacrifice to prepare the food, feed people with disabilities, bathe them, cut their hair, and most importantly offer them love and compassion, something money can't buy. A true hero and inspiration to us all
