Wow - what a bizarre and emotional adventure this was! I can't wait for you to hear this story.
I'm back here in the West African country of Mauritania for a second time. It's a really special place with one of the most beautiful and unique cultures in the Sahel region (Sahara desert). If one thing is important to the Mauritanian people, it is the CAMEL. For thousands of years, that animal has been one of the largest sources of food and transportation.
So I had an idea. I wanted to give back to the lovely people here because they have been so hospitable to me.
I went to a camel market, purchased a camel for $450, and surprised an entire village with it.
Words can’t describe the feeling and emotion after I saw the look on their faces. It was a special moment that I will never forget.

Mauritania is amazing. Thanks again for watching! If you’re reading this, just know that I’m ever so grateful for your support 🙏
You are amazing too drew. Filming in such difficult conditions is not easy :)
Sir
Drew, have you met Candice in Mauritania? She is Sugondese and single handedly found a cure for the local "ligma" sickness. She is amazing...
Awesome! You make me want to push my limits and go to countries I hadn’t considered before.
Why you not talking about the slavery going on there,, black people been enslave by ARAB occupier...😪😪😪😪😪
I usually never comment but that is so kind of you Drew!

Same - also from Zurich 👍

-love from Swaziland, Swaziland.
As someone who was born and raised in a remote village in Morocco, I can only imagine the happiness and joy you brought to these guys. We used to be extremely happy when a foreigner paid us a visit in the village let alone giving us a gift. You should do more of this, Drew!
Love from Guangzhou, China.
Can i ask you
which village ?
do you like it in China
edit Chinese people are banned from using CZcams
How are you using CZcams in china?

@@madina8115 ?
This is one of my favorite videos that you have done. The happiness that they showed for the camel was moving. You are an amazing person Drew for the things that you do.. I wish the world had many more people like you. It would be a better world like that.

Damn giving that camel was so cool! You should do stuff like that more often because I feel like it makes both travelers and USA look a lot better in the locals eyes after experiencing your generosity.
He did the same with a cow once.
I have been an ardent follower of Drew's channel and it has helped me to be in tune with different cultures from every part of the world...
Good job Drew Binsky
Your friend was so chilled, nice and easy going. And also you're doing a great job Drew:)
I didn’t like how at the end of the video his translator friend was hitting on the girl. She’s out of his league.
@@Gaudine He was being respectful and had a lighthearted tone about it. Let the man live, he wasn’t doing anything wrong.
I love this episode. You have done great work documenting your travels, but this one was especially a highlight for me as you connected so deeply with the locals.
Beautiful video, and people in Mauritania. So great to give to others. Way to go, Drew!
I love your channel so much, Drew. This channel makes me know more about other people and cultures, It’s quite an amazing to see you visiting every country on earth. Keep it up!!

This is so awesome! You left a foot print of kindness in that village. May God bless you for that act of love and kindness.
Great gesture Drew ❤️.Life is not always about self dreams and self satisfaction .You are bringing smile on so many faces around the world .Continue your journey and make people happy cuz that's what life is all about exploring nature , different culture and helping needy people ❣️❣️

Theres a video on youtube of a camel in a toyota camry...
The fact you think you’ve seen it all is the issue
@@saraha8276 @Sarah A is there really!? I felt bad for the camel being tied up and thrown in the back of a truck. I can only imagine what happened to get the poor thing in there. I don't even want to think what happened to the camel to get it into the back of a Toyota Camry.🤦🏼♀️
I know this is probably a common practice where these people are from. I find it difficult to see because I have horses, we don't put them in the back of our pickup truck to transport them, we put them in a proper trailer. And this is what is common practice for us.
Can we all appreciate the fact that this guy never disappointed us with his content 🤗 🤚
🤚
Love to see some giving back to the community. It's always nice to grace those who shelter us travelers whenever possible. Love from Cali ✌
THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS, YOU ARE SO VERY KIND! WE NEED MORE PEOPLE LIKE YOU ALL OVER THE WORLD. GOT SO EMOTIONAL WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS. I LOVE THE ONE IN EGYPT WHO YOU INTERVIEWD THE GUY SELLING RICE PUDDING.
Helping others and spreading happiness is beautiful. We need more like this. Drew have you seen the camel market in Somalia? Its so similar
That is a amazing thing right there!!! I’m sure that meant the world to them, and it makes humanity look good! Well done, I can’t wait for a chance to travel abroad.

@@AdventurousArchie definitely will, I’ve been watch a few of the videos out there, you guys give a better view to the world than any news platform out there! Keep doing what your doing, the world needs it.
Helping a community even in small little things are great, nice one Drew
This is beautiful, big respect Drew. Love to the fantastic people of Mauritania
Glad to see Sony is helping you with your channel.
Is the camel 🐫 market buying process as bad as buying a used car back in the states?
What an amazing gesture 🙏🏻 greetings from Portugal

Mauritania is amazing Drew!! It is the perfect blend of Nomadic, Arabic and a bit of French culture! Can't wait for more videos from Mauritania :)
They're west africans, stop imposing foreign cultures on them
@@kofisam9650 but their culture is influenced by these things it would be stupid to neglect it
@@independentwarfootage4909 it's also stupid to neglect their native culture, which is west african Sahel culture.
@@kofisam9650 they are in the Arab league speak a bit of French. No one is saying that they dont have their own culture hes saying that its strongly influenced by these things which make it intresting and unique
@@kofisam9650 bro dont worry Morocco and algeria are the guardians of mauritania even though algeria and morocco hates eachother ! Morocco ships food and algeria ships goodies ! if some tries to harm mauritania we gonna crush them
You're a Good man, Drew. Love your content. Always remember to take care of your mental health my friend.
as a mauritanian i really apreciate your gift to my people because its hard to live there and they needed it
Them not wanting to be on camera doesn’t automatically make them rude and unfriendly.
Agreed
Yeah I also hate being on camera. I'll be happy to talk to you, but turn that thing off
@@NiePieerdol Exactly. I’m the same.
Yah, but people need to realize that video journalism, entertainment, the making of memories is also a desire humans have. Obviously don’t shove cameras in peoples faces. But people need to respect video goers & their practices.
Fun fact: Even though the three living species of camel, the Arabian Camel, the Wild Bactrian Camel, and the Bactrian Camel all live in Africa or Asia naturally camels actually originally evolved in North America, which is why the closest relatives of the camel, the member of the genus Lama (Llamas, Alpacas, Guanacos, and Vicuña) all live in South America.
Fun fact: I’m wearing socks to bed.
@@Gaudine why do people done that?
@@rafiathallah578 so my feet stay warm and cosy? 😇
@@Gaudine what's cozy about socks?
@@rafiathallah578 they keep my feet warm therefore they keep em cozy innit
Salaam Drew, I'm truly impressed by your willingness to immerse yourself into the culture of the places you travel, your gift to this village is a tradition most people in parts of Afghanistan and the Middle East do as a way to give thanks to the locals for welcoming them. Sending you Respect!
Agreed. Check out me exploring the world such as Afghanistan in a different way such as: They invited my for lunch in Kandahar, Afghanistan here: czcams.com/video/M3SSEsTHoWU/video.html. Hope you will like it. Thanks 🙏
Great job Drew! for making the community happy
The scarf fits you, that your Sister look so much like you.

@Onion ok
First a Cow in Ghana for 200$, now a Camel in Mauritiania for 450$, I'm so proud of you that you are giving back to the community, you are so nice Drew, I was so happy witnessing the smile on there faces & how happy these people were!
Drew u are doing great. In this pandemic seeing u trying hard for us to see and know how different cultures and traditions are on CZcams is a plus for us
Great job! You’re bringing a bit of joy to the world, where ever you go.
Love you Drew keep it up! :)
Thank you 😊

I’m Mauritanian and the tour guide wasn’t the most honest since he bumps the price for the camels by at least 100 dollars
He got the tourist price on everything!
Like he lied about the number the dealers said?
Is it possible he didn't know the exchange rate very well?
@@VinylUnboxings i doubt that since the camel was around 350 I’m suspecting he took 100 dollars back and kept it for himself when drew wasn’t around
@@elonmusk585 classic 😂
Pretty scummy but a little funny too
Thats very sad to hear, I thought he was a nice guy :(
Beautiful video man, the joy you created by doing this had me tearing up. So much more good fortune and happiness will come from this, a butterfly effect that will surely ripple through the future years and create even more love or joy we will never know about. This video and the struggles of filming it seemingly disappeared in that moment too, and really is the embodiment of "And in the end, the love you take, is equal to the love you make."
Keep up the amazing videos and hard-work Drew, your touching countless lives across the world!
hey man I've been following you for a while and I just want to say that you're kind of a role model to me, travelling is one of my favorite things in life and the fact that you are able to live from it just inspires me, thanks!
This country is so similar to my country bro we love camels 🐪 to death lol
Which country
@@anaysfuntime7030 Somalia.
Somalia
@@anaysfuntime7030 15m camels

Loved this story and your description of how you felt giving the community a valued camel. If I were to be chosen for the Sony camera I would like to use it to document the struggles of providing food to schools to feed hungry kids. Keep up the good work Drew!

@@hi-ym7ob after that how'd they use that camel..for travelling or carrying goods?? Or they killed it
they can use them for transport and if female for the milk which does help a lot to have one!

Great Video Drew. Mauretania has always facinated me. It’s great to finally see what the country actually looks like from the perspective of a traveller.
That's very kind of you! I'm glad i watched! 👍🖖🏼
Bro! That's my university, Wisconsin! Lol🤣
Hey Drew I think it's my turn to win a camera on your channel, honestly I can't be Drew Binsky but since I started watching your videos about a year ago my passion to travel accross the world and tell stories has grown so much. Having a camera to step up my gears will be a great way to make this dream reality
Btw am from Liberia West Africa but I base in your fav country Manila Philippines 🇵🇭🇱🇷
just started watching your videos, love the views you give from PI
G-d bless you Drew for your thoughtfulness, generosity and mercy.
You are one of the few inspiring travel vloggers I come across. Your generosity and humbleness always goes above and beyond.Always rewarding watching your vlogs.
Have fun in Saudi Arabia and Jamaica🇯🇲🇸🇦♥️

Hi Drew, my name is Bess and winning this Sony ZV-E10 will be a great relief for me and my students especially the ones who always miss my lectures and give me a bag of excuses then end up not doing well in my course🤦♀️.
It's true some of the excuses are genuine like traffic, and insecurity concerns. atleast if i'm able to record my lectures with the ZV-E10 this time they will have one less excuse to give and hopefully everyone can have an equal chance to getting the course material and they can all do well finally🙏.
The ZV-E10 seems like a really great camera and its live streaming feature is really an icing on the cake for me. Im already a big fan, this will be a great addition to my classroom

So kind of you. You see the appreciation from them
Wow I never seen so many camels in a single place.
I really enjoyed this video and drew that was so generous of you, got really emotional at the end. Keep up the good work man.
Drew I typically love your videos. I feel the intent was good here, but misguided. I spent 2.5 years in Burkina Faso with the Peace Corps doing grass roots development work. One of the main things that I learned was if you are going to make large contribution to a community it's very important to know what is needed and who is receiving it. I have seen a lot of projects done by well meaning NGOs that just decided what a community needed without any input from the community itself. These projects usually wound up in the hands of someone without the best intentions or immediately falling into disrepair. My suggestion in to future would be to work with a community organizer and do a needs assessment with the community you are trying to help, to better understand what people need and how to make sure it benefits people (and the community) in the best way possible. Cheers.
My polisci background invoked similar worries, almost instantly. The guy who helped them in the camel market, could have just sent them over to his brothers village. Hopefully, it made it somewhere helpful. A bit simplistic, but teaching a person to fish, rather than feeding it to them, seems to be a simple and effective path for how aid can work.
Imagine getting a heart from drew
What an amazing moment, this was so kind of you! You truly are an inspiration
Such a great way to show how, and why, kindness is so important. Love all your videos, but the recent ones are even more fantastic. 😊

I’m a college student at ASU and we are learning about Modern day slavery in Mauritania right now. Quite crazy to see we still have slavery in today’s modern world
and in the video, Have u seen such things like this?
Aren't they all: white, Brown and Black people Living the same condition in the same area??.
I never said anything about race because slavery can affect anybody no matter their gender, religion, ethnicity, or religion. So yes there is a diverse population there you are correct. Some of which happen to be enslaved by owners and treated as nothing more than property regardless of their physical or spiritual features. Thanks for trying though!
You did a kind act act and good job.. so nice of you drew👍
What a good idea to give to the people!! And what an amazing journey!! Thank you for sharing!! I love your videos!!
It's so touching how you have done this. You didn't need too but for $450 you have brought smiles to a whole community and stories that will be told time and time again. They will live happier with what you have done. ❤
You win Drew! Charity is good for the soul.
Very nice of you Mr Drew to give a camel as a gift to a poor village. I am very much delighted. I'm waiting for your videos of the last 3 countries. Thank you belessed man.
Was really good of you to help this community , the world would really need people like you where government has failed
Great content. The effort you put into flying over there and go through that process is amazing.
This litterally brought a smile on my face, keep on making people happy and making video's because i love it and if i could, i would be watching this all day!!!
