Living on One Dollar


Hubby and I just watched the most amazing movie about 4 young college students who went on an amazing adventure to find out what it is really like to live in a developing nation on 1 dollar a day. What they experienced and the story they tell will move you to tears and to action.

Please watch this video. Please share it with everyone you know. One message you will hear in this film is the concept that there are actually more people in the world who are not poor than there are people who are poor. We are often presented with the image of throngs and masses of nameless poor and we feel powerless to help. In this film you will see individuals with faces and names; children, mothers, fathers and grandmothers that you can help. If everyone who can help, helps just one person who needs help, what a wonderful change we will see in this world.
