How about the vocal community that have the fame use it against the black oppressive leaders in Africa.There must first be a pathway and economic system for that money to grow and benefit all within that country. If not it just ends up in the pockets of African Tyrants. Cry out for Government change within the poorest countries and then maybe something can be done.I am not saying this is the only problem but it is a major one that must be resolved as is the sharing of wealth and resources.

themtb2007. My song is called "in my name 26500" a rap with "maxdad" a 12 year old youtube user playing "stairway to heaven" in the background. Check Me Out. While I think religion, and governments CAUSE suffering, the Rich USA doesnt have to Profit in such lands where it happens. RIGHT HERE in the Bahamas, we go and Have a good time, MILLIONS go a year, yet the people live in poverty. They should profit handsomely by our visits, yet they do not. If WE cant make examples THERE, then WHERE?!

this is true, but Just liek folks like Jessie jackson, FAME brings media attention where the person speaks... therefore bringing attention to whatever the issue is. Like them or not, without such ones, we would only get crap, spun, bias news that panders to the advertisers on the news show.

With that attitude, of course it is. How do you know they do not help people? There are celebrities who travel around the world, they may have nice things - but that doesn't mean they are selfish and unwilling to help. Even if you're an average person, you can still do something. If it takes a celebrity to notify people on how to make an impact, then what waste is that when there are people obviously doing something?

Thanks for spreading the word and inspiring people to make a difference. This world is our community-let's take it back!!!

Perhaps you are right, though it is just stupid to stop before you have even started making a serious attempt. Indeed our western world is rather build around materialism, but anything can be changed. Democracy enables us, the majority, to get what we want. So we, the majority, just have to want it. There will always be a few bad apples. But the needs of the many out weigh the needs of the few. We wont get anywhere if we don't try.

I find it amazing that celebrities support these causes, asking the general public to help, when one pair of Elle MacPherson's shoes for instance could feed how many kids. She works in an industry that supports materialism yet asks for people to help end poverty. Give me a break. Celebrities only do this for exposure and ending poverty will never happen. People are greedy and selfish so supporting this cause is only a wasted effort. Great idea but it's hopeless.

Extremely disturbed to see Mel B write her name on a baby bottle in this film. Formula feeding increses health risks, and increases poverty. Breastfeeding saves lives, and money. If we are tryign to end poverty for children, we should not be touting manufactured food replacements, with high costs and high death rates. 4000 babies die every day from unsafe formula prep in resource poor countries. A celebrity may as well join this campaign by signing her name across a gravestone.

I think we all can do something every time we take decisions i.e. when we think about what we can buy to eat. I try to buy less but good food and support fair trade goods and I sign petitions. Our signature is so precious! We can do a lot!

umm there is tons we can do as individuals to end world poverty. it takes personal change for this to happen, not just telling a leader to do it. there is infinite child sponsorship.. we're wealthy in north america in general.. and our money goes 20 times farther in 3rd world countries, so giving a little does A LOT.

"The only organisation who can do it are the governement not us." Hell no. We need to take the government and smush it back to a small government. The government should only protect our rights and property. Welfare and all that crap are making ALL of us poor, even the ones getting welfare. Churches around the world are feeding and educating millions of people overseas and the government isn't doing anything. It's OUR job. Tell our leaders that we want our freedom back.

... Good intentions, but the hypocrisy outweighs it. These celebrities cannot deny the fact that they spend millions on luxuries that the middle class people in the rich countries can only dream of. Also, where the fuck do we get all this money to help these poor countries. Taxing the rich countries more? Sadly, poverty can never end.

I love the woman singer! Especially when she sings in Jamaican or w/e that was. Oh and I like to idea of this. I hope it will happen.

That not possible to end Poverty because to do that we need to change the society and that not gonna happen. We have the technology to do that who gonna do that common people, Rich people. The only organisation who can do it are the governement not us. The only thing possible its to help them but it a temporary solution. If from today people die because hunger it because the G8 doesnt care for the problem


brontxD
i have been saying this for ages, the one thing that actually need to be financed is education. ppl should be given the opportunity to use thei hands and brain to work. not free cheap stuff.


BobekMistrz
I personally refuse to give you anything.


JapaneseAliens
it is not impossible to put an end to poverty round the world but not completely simple example united states spent more than than one thousand billions on it's vain war in iraq just imagine ! if that amount of money spend to overcome poverty , there will not poverty in the world which means that the solution between our hands to choose the leaders who represent us in charitable deeds not in satanist war god duide us to straight way


xxxxPRZEMOxxxx
it is very good - but I am afraid unless we all get downs on our knees and pray as well as be generous with our own goods and money nothing will ever change


polishstar123456
samson first off you know nothing of my life so why assume I do nothing?Eitherway I dont post vids saying how much people need to give when Im rich- and you say he earned his money through hard work? Dude I'd like to see this guy work a week in the third world for a dollar a day, its a greedy monitary system that hinges on the rich like him getting richer,it may be easy to criticize but rather that than be brainwashed into thinking making youtube responses is gonna help.Warmest regards Samson

Awesome video... good idea... hope we achieve the goals till the deadline.. =)

Those better leaders can and will attract investment that would get ppñ out of poverty and so on.Good healthcare can also help a lot to prevent a lot of suffering. And for those who think population will just grow and grow to never stop: watch the developed countries and how their population is growing more and more slowly. If those poor countries develop they can get to that stage. I know I make it look too simple but I know poverty can be beaten. Saying no would be an insult to human intelect


cherrylillyz
Nothing can ever be done to end Poverty... Do you really think at some point in time the world won't have poor people????? maybe the only thing you can do is to change people's lifestyles but not end poverty.


anonimowy0
hmm giving free money is never good. For those esceptic to the fact that poverty cant be eliminated just watch those emerging countries and how their poor people are actually getting decent jobs. To end poverty we just need to promoted education and fair trade rules. Punish those who go to poor countries just to exploit their people to get cheaper products. Education leads to people more selfcouncius of their political decisions that would lead to better leaders.


danielix11
but giving free money has always helped people across the world, we are far away from ending poverty but we should atleast try?

I'm glad that they are spreading awareness about poverty. However, I believe just awareness is not enough. Please, if this clip has made an impression on you, read the UN Summit resolution and do what you can to help even just a neighbor in need. Times are hard, but if we stick together the world can get past this mess. There are many ways to get involved. Little acts of kindness go a long way. You don't need to donate money to help those around you. Spread the support. <3 Emchez.

chromegrillz, keep thinking free. too bad no nader on the debates tonite. he could put a lot of war type fellas out of biz. the song was angelique kidjo. fabulous.

It has not worked since the beginning of time. Government programs are never the answer. Tell those who say you are not giving enough to stick their hands in their own pockets. Poverty is never ended by giving 'free money'. Period.

'IN MY NAME' the only name that will finally end poverty is the name of Yeshua/Jesus. Bono, Bob Geldhof, and all these people, are WRONG. All of the problems of people are in the HEART. Only when a person receives Jesus into their heart as their own personal Saviour and Lord, will anything truly happen and begin. Poverty is a spiritual problem a problem of sin, and only Jesus can take care of it. You can feed a person's belly, etc. etc. but they can still die and go to Hell on a full stomach.

good song

Jesus Christ said you will always have the poor among you. Jesus Christ is right. Always has been always will be. Godspeed on helping as many as you can. What good is it if every child is fed with food but not of the Holy Spirit. God Bless... Randall M. Rueff
