Iwaya Slum Charity Event

Lagos, Nigeria is an epicenter of corruption and poverty. Iwaya, the largest slum in Nigeria, literarily floats atop the river as land is too expensive. A group of employees from the LinkaChild Foundation and the Chevron company organized a fundraiser aiming to raise money for thousands of toys to be passed out in the heart of Iwaya. 500 children aged 5-15 received $11,000 is gifts just in time for the Christmas holiday.

I would love comments on the film style and other technical areas of this video.

Thanks!

@plutonash25 fucking kangaroo thats what you are speak for yourself and not for all nigerians

[plutonash25]

hypocrisy is all i see. if you wanted to help these people better, perhaps start by not destroying their lands in the name of oil exploration. if you're an expat, you'll definitely know what i'm saying. we all know how much damage shevron has done to our beloved country. the generations to come will suffer for it.

do you really think Nigerians dont see beyond this hypocrisy? we do and we know and expect you all to leave when the oil dries up. perhaps we might build our nation again.
