World On Fire 3 years ago

This video is amazing…it gave me chills the first time I saw it and still does. Please watch it!

“The song is about trying not to feel paralyzed when we see all that is wrong with the world, and remembering that even the smallest gesture can make a difference.”

Sarah McLachlan

i watched it!

I never realize consciously how much difference just a little can be. $1 or $2 can look like it won’t do anything really, but when you think about it…

thank you for sharing!

Hurray!

You are right, it’s so easy to forget what $1 or $2 can do for people in the developing world until you see it right in front of you.

Credit goes to Nina for coming up with the goal – thanks so much for watching the video! :D

You are right, I watched it. Great (though heartbreaking) video. I didn’t know those numbers either.

Heartbreaking maybe...

...but I also find it uplifting in a way: knowing that however small the amount we give, it can make a huge difference when used right. Actually, it’s made me more determined to find a way to accomplish my goal of sponsoring a child soon.

So good!

That’s really a wonderful thing for her to do, although I felt a little avaricious after I saw it, since all the people she didn’t hire were in my field—“Just think, if I never worked again we could feed a million people in SubSaharan Africa!” I also enjoyed seeing how someone budgeted for a music video, but that’s just me…
