Thank you for still coming to watch it. The sections that are still are there for when Naomi and I were showing it to various potential fundraisers or church groups, we had particular things to say about the still moments or to use them to explain a previous or upcoming bit - we didn't want to be talking over the whole thing because it'd be information overload!

Hi guys, they removed the sound a few years ago now I think! This is actually quite an old video - Naomi and I were there for this video in 2005. The music was Caught By The River by The Doves, and I chose it because it wasn't overly emotive but felt like it could lie in the background and still say something hopeful, or simple about the film - without distracting from watching it. There was never any talking or audio info on it so by watching it in silence you're not actually missing anything.

...Abstinence and Natural Family Planning, the accepted and legal norm for many years, are not enough since they have not alleviated the problem. Both factions of this issue must end their zealotry & realize that something needs to change NOW! Otherwise, the status quo of poverty will NEVER end.

Yes I agree. I suppose the big difference is between 'religious institutions' and genuine people who want to help, and those people may or may not be Christians of course. Institutions like Roman Catholicism, Sancto di Christo (??) maybe get those benefits and tax breaks from the government etc but I know and hope that that doesn't necessarily mean that there aren't individuals within them who want to serve and help these urban poor communiites.

Contraception is a big one, you're right

[rachelburn]

Absolutely no person in the world is of any less value than another. These people, like every other person in the world, need to be taught about and given contraception, not sterilized or wiped out.

One of the biggest problems is that they have been conditioned to think that they're worthless so don't have any concept of expecting more for themselves than poverty and homelessness. We need to give them respect and let them have dignity through working and providing for themselves.

where is the sound dang it!!!!!

[ambrosiobertodazo]

Everything to be said has already been said but I have one thing to say about YOUTUBE AND WMG, this is a very touching video about people with not much to give yet generous enough to help those in need. Yet you have the heart to deprive this clip of its audio tracks just because of this Copy right thing, What damage could an exception granted to this little clip do to Rich world wide web based businesses?
