People have always thought of poverty as this insanely massive problem. I however, like to think about it as this insanely massive problem that can be minimized if we all just tried.
While making this movie, I Googled the term "poverty" and tada - countless pictures of starving children, nothing but skin and bone. It's strange isn't it? We live in this world where if a Tsunami strikes South East Asia, the whole world knows about it within seconds. We are all connected these days by things like the media and the internet - ignorance can no longer be an excuse!
We know poverty is real. What's really sad is the fact that people can watch a video clip much like the one I made below and say "Oh yeah, I've seen that picture before!!" We have seen these pictures one too many times that we have actually become desensitized!
Please spare 5 minutes of your life to watch my video. It outlines what I will be doing for the 40 hour famine. Please, sponsor me today.Together, let's make poverty history - one child at a time.
