Hello Class :)
I was shown this video this summer and it was something that gave me chills from beginning to end. Everytime I watch it, it still has the same effect. Please watch it closely, take the time to really read what is portrayed on the screen, as the facts will really make you think about what other parts of the world are actually going through. When I watch this, I think about how people living in Hollywood and New York spend rediculous amounts of money, everyday, on themselves and services for them. Luxuries that amount to what could possibly be the difference in life or death for a person in an under-developed country, could put a child through school for a whole year, could feed a village of people for a month.
So please, watch this music video. Watch it again, and again. Listen to the words, read the facts that flash up, look at the people. It is SO compelling. To be honest, my mind completely changed after seeing this. I hope it will have the same effect on you. Enjoy :)

Definitely an eye opener! Compelling is a good description.
ReplyDeleteWow....that was really touching. It was shocking to see how much some people spend on things and then heart breaking to see how much that same amount of money would do for less developed countries. It really proves how wastful we are. This really brought how blessed I am into perspective! Thanks for sharing!
