Its crazy how a single camera changed a whole community
You just never know whose life you might impact by saying hello.
I know. It’s amazing.
The key is dont jug
Turned a scammer into a photojournalist and a published author.
It wasn’t the camera it was the person who changed a whole community! If the camera was given to another person they probably would have just sold it. And not because they are a bad person but because they are trying to survive
Don't confuse lack of money with lack of character.
Amen!
Marcio Coelho he was trying to rip people off. Is that good character
@@christopherdraper5815 was he? That doesn't come across in the video.
@@christopherdraper5815 did you even watch the video?!? Or are you not a student of comprehension?
r light
Ya he was trying to scam a guy.
The guy messed with him
And then the guy bought him a camera
And sent him pictures.
HE STILL TRYED TO SCAM HIM
Genuinely crying, as a South African, I know how much these acts of kindess and charity help poor people in Africa. God bless them both ❤
Half South African, it is one of the richer parts of Africa but there is a lot of crime and poverty. Ramaphosa isn't doing much as well
@IcyMiracle Hello

This is a story of two good hearted men who's path were meant to cross each other, and to show that no matter how much evil tries to reign over this world, the good will always win.
Money rules over this planet and the one's who have the most will gladly commit atrocities and evil deeds if it means getting more power and getting what they want. After all when you control armies of armed assassins who will jump when you order them to and cannot be held accountable for you actions. They live by their own set of rules and care not what you or I think. We are just a number,
Well said my friend
1 good hearted man to be honest. And it shows how white ppl look at poor people of Africa as all scammers. Soooo yea no
Steve: Why did you not keep the money?
Joel: It’s stealing, and I would be dishonest.
That says it all!
There are good people all over the world in bad situation
these words stuck in my mind toooo....real man
We as humans must come together now more than ever... when there is enough for everyone, but not everyone has enough, how can any of us be happy?
Rare case
@Ric_V_30 thats just ignorant.
Just because a person is Poor, doesn't mean they're not rich in Character!
D'Angelo Bana-ay not a “zero”
AMEN!!!
What a great idea!
bruv i was reading and he said that
My parents are from a poor country and we fortunately live a better life in the U.K., I went to visit my parents country for the first time last year and the poor people were much kinder and wiser than the middle class and wealthier people in that country.
“I had to find a way to compensate him or else I would become the scammer.”
Such a beautiful story. Humans can be better. And this video proves that
“Just because a person is poor, doesn’t mean their not rich in character” that is so true 🤝
The dude quoted the Bible and actually kept to his word...That’s honestly cool
Lol God's word came right back at him. I think this guy just needed something to do and needed to be pushed in the right direction.
@Abdullah what
@Abdullah Islam is a joke and muhamad the p3d0
@Abdullah Allah is a p!?p of hooris
@Abdullah you are just another brainwashed 😂😂😂
He's Not a hustler, He is a True Man.
I don't care how he helped these kids this is WRONG! Scamming helpless vunrable people to help people? Causing more trouble then help.
The definition of hustler has gotten dirtied over time, it just means someone who works hard and is an entrepreneur
S3RL BABE Joel was never a scammer go and check Ben's channel it's called "Pleasant Green"
@@amenh1 what about those kids to some people who already have privileges sure its stealing but really it's not that bad the way you are making it sound compared to money taking and what they have besides you have to be a idiot to be scammed like this
Yeahhhh...you are 100% right.
"Helping other people makes me feel good." This is so real. Especially when we are in a complicated situation, help others then the joy will blast your heart. God bless these two.
Me, a 35 year old man, brought to tears. This is what our world needs.
Same here 😢

Not exactly how it happened, but ok, it was still a most worthy gesture! Cheers!
Too Funny um... sorry to break it to you but this is cbs
@@amonGustavo07 This story has nothing to do with CBS. They just reported on the story. It literally all happened and was coordinated by Ben and Joel whom you met in the video. CBS simply made a video about Ben's video's on his CZcams channel.
marcoantoniomirandar sorry to break it yo you but.... he deleted his comment because it was stupid
I want to watch this video over and over again and try to capture any amount of wonderful it contains forever.
Not to be dramatic but this is one of the best stories of our time lmao
This was a great story and it shows how we stereotype people because a African man was simple in his request Ben then judged Joel initially. We all are guilty of this at some point.
It’s beautiful
@@xoxxobob61 or maybe he didnt trust him because He was some random Person asking for money
How do you buy this book
Oh it’s not dramatic, it’s just incredible!
From a somewhat scammer to becoming an amazing person with everything great happening, I absolutely love how this ended, this really does go to show that there is a bit of good in this world left!
The guy was never a scammer, maybe Ben thought so at first but he wasn't a scammer he is just poor, so y'all need to stop with the narrative that he's a "changed" man or reformed scammer.
What show did you watch? He was NEVER a scammer. Get your eyes checked and the wax out of your ears.
He never scammed...he needed help.
@@FreshtexBlackman Exactly if anyone was reformed it was Ben
I know scammers are horrible, but when one grows up in poverty, it makes it a little easier to understand why people in these impoverished places feel forced to do this. Happy to see Joel be tbe change we need to see in the world. Ben is a wonderful man and his CZcams channel named, "Pleasant Green" is wonderful!
My man got 500$ from Facebook through that phone. Told u Nokia is the best phone
why did he have nokia but then like 150 dollar shoes xd
5:05 does not read Nokia, Bro.. ✌🏼
lol
That old dinosaur
@@eliffi6426 some of the stuff we donate or that doesn't get selled goes to country's that are poor where they then sell it for cheap well what we consider cheap
The guy didn't "show" him another side. He was genuine from the start. The guy was wrong about him
No he wasn't. Watch his latest video about that Miguel guy. He is still a scammer and he wanted more money which Ben didn't send. Once a scammer always a scammer!
MysticMavi you are getting Joe and another person mixed up. Most Liberian are not good at being scammers. Nigerian are good at being scammers.
MysticMavi different dude
Yes it was a divine connection!
your so easily fooled...to think scamming isn't possible
This man's English is phenomenal given his struggles with poverty. Continually impressed by people's education even in some of the poorest nations of the world, really shows up people in the first world. Of course we have many bilingual people too, but most don't go much beyond their native language.
English is Liberia's official language as it was founded by former black slaves from America. It is taught in schools, all the street signs and official government documents are in ENGLISH. You sound very ignorant bro
In Liberia English is the official language so English was probably his native language.
@@trcimalo763 Official language and native language are two totally different things. Official languages are usually languages most africans learn as a second language but they have their own mother tongue.
It happens. I have seen people selling things by the beach speaking several languages because there are a lot of tourists coming, so they learned how to speak them. They don't speak it very good but it is impressive a 15 year old helping his father can speak 4+ languages.
Why would it not be lol they speak English there goofy.
Im from a African country also,some of our political and economical issues made so much damage.Our parents work so hard to put us through school only to be unemployed for decades.Currently also looking for an investor to start a business with,Lord knows how hard it is to beg but sometimes we are left with no choice.Im glad to see stories like these where people actually take initiative to help elevate someone,it may seem little but to someone who needs it most it would mean the world to them🙏

This is exactly the type of connection and friendship I need in my life!
When I saw all those little backpacks 😭 🙏 God can use anyone anywhere.
I lost it 🥺😫
Amen!! Just be a willing vessel.
@S Ezell My thoughts exactly.
God had nothing to do with this. Did you not see it was two people named Joel and Ben why not give them credit since they where the once that did it?
@BleedingFish. Wrong. God is everywhere. God is everything. Jesus Christ is responsible for ALL blessings. I implore You to watch the video again. Even Joel and Ben credit God themselves. This isn't that hard to grasp.

This story brought tears to my eyes. How amazing that two people from each ends of the earth can be equally beautiful human beings and then connect in such a way that they then spread there love to so many others especially children. ❤️
God bless this newly found friendship. And God bless the people of Liberia...
They both needed each other. God sealed this pact!
Wasn’t it jole who reached out tho?
No such thing, we are on our own, Be Good, Do Good.
They did not need each other. One of them was too stupid and lazy to work for it; the other was too foolish and self-hating to not give free money.
Nagihan Göt foolish and self-hating did not wanting to give away money?
Greg noway none of them are lazy. One just has more opportunity because they live in a better place.

So sad that it'll never exist, people are all for themselves
It's happening ....more all the time....there's thousands of stories like this...and fills my old heart with hope for our children's future.
This brought tears to my eyes. It lets me know there is Still Love and Hope in the world and in the hearts of people for fellow humanity. What a wonderful story! May each of us turn and help someone who is hurting, poor, desperate and in need. As Steve Hartman said, "it will make you feel better when you help someone else".
This made me cry!! No literally real tears.
I love how all the kids genuinely smile. Meanwhile so many spoiled kids in America are ungrateful and rude.
Mxlly Yes, I agree. It’s sad, but we definitely do that in our lives. We are so privileged so we have to do our best to help others.

Wow, I just looked him up and he is helping another woman from that area who is in need of stomach surgery, she had complications after she was born and her stomach was damaged to do a doctor mistake. He then helped her write a book to raise the money to fly her to the states to get the surgery, once Covid-19 restrictions are over she can fly here.
her book is pretty good.
By D Grace of God is hosting the book as well.
That’s so great!
I hope her surgery goes well and she's able to live a long, healthy life
@@silverhawk8699 Yes, me too :)
Nice!
That's the thing, in Liberia scamming is one of the only options for money.
But Joel now found a new way
@Anonymous A
Anonymous they are probably saying that their father is racist, not anyone in this video
@@arcaeio9008 HOw is he racist for saying the truth?? the video tells us Liberia is one of the poorest nations on earth.. which directly correlates with being a very very bad place to live , due to high crime rate , high corruption rate etc..
@Anonymous he was not scamming even originally
Yeah and for the fact, he never actually thought of himself as a scammer. He was just desperate to get money, but miracles can happen and Joel received not only money but a friend with him. This must've changed both of their lives.
2:00 lmao this is the nicest way to roast my mans Joel
a long time ago my family gave a family that wasnt doing well at all beds, matresses, and new blankets, because they were using stuff from a humane society, and we heard that one of that one of the kids said to his/her younger sibling: "I told you santa was real"
I remember it every day
He smiled through that whole interview. Has no air conditioning. Mind blown.
Air conditioning? Those are luxury problems! He is happy to buy a 25 kilo bag of rice to feed his family for a month.
He is happy to have a new "roof". 500$USD is what they earn in a year if you have a job.
Most of them survive or are dependent of family members.
Just shows how naive you are by mentioning their need of the air conditioner! 🙄
Storm if you didn’t have an air conditioner you would be complaining. Don’t act like you’re better than someone else 😒
I live in Sweden, and because of the cold winters even most of us dont have air conditioning for the hot summers!

@@Chronosmaster002 that is very noble, but maybe you should still go to starbucks sometimes, to tell yourself how fortunate you are to have that money
I never went to Starbucks. It is too expensive for someone whose family has to support themselves on a single salary. Not to mention that it is not worth it for a cup of coffee, not to mention I don't like coffee, I prefer tea.

Joel is, never was, not a scammer. He was a man that needed a job and got one from facebook is all. He's a smart man and found a way to take care of himself despite what he was born with.
It should read "Joel never was a scammer"; not "Joel is, never was, not a scammer." You're using two negatives in one sentence and inferring "never was" means he still isn't.
Big up u no how big Africa is people assume most Africans r fraudsters No 👿
The only thing Joel was scamming from us was our love and attention
Not only himself, but his community as well!
@@flexiblestrategist9922 The double negations creates an emphasis on her inference that Joel was initially perceived as a scammer.

P.s, i got help from a Christian charity organization (even tho i wasnt one)....good people!

One sentence: "How can I help" instead of blocking Joel, changed so many lives in a poverty stricken community. Imagine living on $60 a month. That is if you get lucky with finding work. Giving Joel a purpose by snapping pictures. Postage for mailing those first few pictures must have cost him a few meals. Several more meal to develop and enlarge those pictures. But he did it.
With $500 he bought supplies for 5 schools. These kids barely have a pencil to write with.
What a beautiful story of trust and faith!! There is still hope for humanity.
The minimum wage there is around 10 USD cents per hour.
Just so you have an idea, if they worked 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, they would get around 16 USD at the end of the month (minimum wage).
In contrast, the minimum wage in the US is 7.25$ per hour, which means, with the same worktime, you would get 1160 USD at the end of the month.
I apologize if my wording sounds strange, i'm not a native English speaker
@@serigroho Damn, that is actually crazy. I could not imagine living off of $16 a month. Us Americans really should be more thankful for what we have, I am guilty of this too, but your comment gave me some perspective.
,@@UNDERCOVER_E You also have to take into consideration that things are more expensive in the U.S. because of the economy and blah blah blah. So basically, it would be like living on 160 dollars a month, which is still not much but gives a better perspective.

I have been to Africa, more than once. Most of those ppl turn to fraudulent behavior because it seems as a faster and easier way to survive but if they are given the chance or the opportunity to make money, they would work hard and share what they have. Thanks for sharing this video this could teach us a lot.
Not most of the people in Africa but maybe most of the people you've come across. Which country did you even visit?
Living in south africa it can go both ways there a few noble and then there is the government XD

I am head of finance of an organisation that turnover £1 Billon, and my team never stole a penny.
Well, in my origin country in west Africa, everyone in the position to control cash has to take some to themselves. Every time the government changes in my Country, the money will go missing and the new one has to started all over again.
Until the mentally changes, Africa will still the same with greed presidents.
How silly of you to support governments that made the world look down on us. People treat Africans poorly around the world because, our government don’t want to use their brain and work with our national resources.
Do you know where the mineral that they made mobile phones comes from? CONGO. But the western world giving the rebels weapon to fight so they can get it cheaper.
Why don’t we do like the ARABS with their Oils, if you want their products you have to do their ways. Unlike African president, once you give them little bribe here you go they forget the people.
I have travel to 27 Countries in the world, and speak 5 languages and father had to leave my country to France for criticising the government of steal.
Africa needs new generation with different mind to change it.
