I made this video because I just wanted to express how I feel about what is happening to many places of Africa right now, and how we have all turned our backs. Shame on us.

  • anyone want to tell me why they still have kids even though they cant take care of themselves?!?!?!?!?!?!

    thats what really pisses me off

    how can u bring a newborn into a world that you alone cant survive in... no racism intended here...

  • lack of sexual education...family brings a sense of dignity to a very unfair and horrible situation..more family brings a feeling of more purpose to life. Combined with a lack of contraceptive methods and poverty, brings this.

  • If you saw a child drowning in 3 feet of water would you ruin your shoes to wade in and save him? Would it matter what his parent's politics were? Would his race matter to you? Starving and sick children are INNOCENT regardless of the circumstances that put them on this earth. Human compassion should drive even the hard hearted to desire what's best for hurting children! Thanks for making/posting this video...

  • your welcome, thank you for having an open heart..and more importantly, an open eye

  • The video was great! You're absolutely right, education is everything. I teach in a Jr. High and drench my kids with videos like this to help them understand the need for a change. I also spent time teaching in Rwanda and strongly believe that we can make a difference, we're called to.

  • Thank you. I truly believe that. It really makes me sad when I hear such negativity. You are right, it is our calling..we have to do something. Take care:)

  • WOW! I thought the idea of this video is to help and not criticize.

    If you think they're not worth saving them, then go away. They have more problems to worry about than your cruel comments.

    I happen to be from Africa and yes I send $ when I can. I also work for a living and pay big taxes to support the welfare system in this country. Now tell me, why so many young women in the US are having children out of the wedlock? Aren't they "supposed" to be "educated"? Get it! Please be kind.

  • Very Very Sad...But I am afraid shame is not going to help us..we need to act and realize that we are all one (the whole entire world is one) and until we take care of the whole world and not just certin sections, we will have conflict, war, separation, and other crimes against mankind. Let this be the generation that literally changes the world..because we are all the world. Great Video please keep posting more.

see all

  • @cpadill5 Is it difficult for you to understand that Africa doesn't lack resources? They just don't work. They're lazy, Africa is one of the most fertile places on Earth. They should probably start farming..

  • @DjEfex818 it's lack of education and resources. Just like you were able to rationalize by thinking, "...why they still have kids even though they can't take care of themselves?", they don't or else they wouldn't have this problem. Sometimes it's just difficult to understand.

  • fuck...fuck...fuck the only thing retards like you can say...you want to help ??? go and teach them how to work to help themselves...but I guess you have no clue what work is...

  • I guess you don`t have ANY FUCKING A IDEA OF HOW HORRID A COLD THEIR WORLD FUCKING IS! IF THEY SEE FOOD AND WATER THEY BOLT FOR IT OF COURSE THAT IS WHAT WOULD HAPPEN YOU FUCK! GO BURN IN BLOODY FUCKING HELL YOU PIECE OF SHIT

  • indeed...shame on us!

  • Guess you don't remember what happened back in '93? We tried to help. We sent food, and doctors, and vaccine, and educators, and supplies to help forward them as a people. You know what happened? Warlords stole the food, stole the supplies, killed or enslaved the educators and doctors. We sent troops to protect them, the people attacked the troops. They bit the hand that fed them, and now people want us to try again? Why send help where it is not wanted. The people don't even try to change it.

  • Correct! I'm with you, diezeled.
