Thank you for watching.
Thank you to the South Sudanese people for having me in your country and thank you to everyone who donated and watched this series. It is surreal to think of the generosity of the audience here. I am feeling beyond grateful, you are saving the lives of innocent children and for that, I salute you. If you would like to donate, you can here to save malnourished children's lives in South Sudan: donate.unicef.org.nz/IndigoTraveller
See you in the next series, thank you. Nick 🇸🇸
Love it! Will do.
Your videos are awesome, but there is one thing I particularly hate about your videos - the ridiculously long intros where you show some interesting bits. They are way too long and I always want to skip them, but it's difficult to understand where the real video begins.
😭
Have you ever wondered why these UN workers give them ready-to-use-therapeutic-food instead of real foods? u still think they are there to help? what a joke...
Thank You Nick, only a embracing and loving Spirit could do what you do. I appreciate and love you for who you are. Blessings Brother & Stay Safe with Love🌺
this is actually unbelievable, wow i mean it really puts into perspective just how awful life can be and how privileged i am, i never went cold or hungry a day in my life and here you have 10 year old homeless kids with no family, nothing to eat living in the middle of sewage with no prospect of life getting better and they are still smiling. i don't have words man
Yea and you don't see them killing them selfs or saying they are depressed?
You know why ?
They know this is just a test they have faith
Allahu akbar while here in America
People have it so freaking good and Constantly off them selfs and be depressed
@@RosinDaddy5280 and ur allah ends up giving them nothing you know why? cus he dont exist
No, what's unbelievable is that it's almost 2023 and yet the news has to say a damn thing about anything. Things like this have been happening forever all over the world in all different way of suffering far beyond the USA pigs of societys imagination. People like this man are our only hope to show the darker parts of the world. It's just we haft to have hope and faith in these vl9gers to keep it honest and REAL!
@@RosinDaddy5280 I dont think its that they know its a "test" - they're too dumb to realize how much mess they're in. If they cannot pickup the garbage from ground then how much can we expect from them... No one cares about anything there. They surely not morally superior to the west and less innocent.
We Africans are the toughest people in this Earth 🙏🏿👀👀👀
I had to go back and do a double take...when Nick got his shoes cleaned, the guy let Nick use his pink slippers...so kind and thoughtful. My heart goes out to these kids
That was so touching
I noticed that too.
The shoe shining moment was very beautiful. The kids expression when you gave him some extra cash was priceless.
And he made the shoes like new ❤
So sad to see my country like this.
That my hometown.
Hopefully one day thing will get better.
on the bright side South Sudan is having huge economic growth recently
My home town as well
Bentiu
After every oil rich nation becomes independent their will be civil War, the country of Angola is the most oil rich country in Africa and there civil war lasted 27 years and now they’re the fastest growing country in Africa, so things will get much better
This is high level journalism.Thank you Nick,your courage brings us new views on the world.
Thank you, Kristina!
Greetings from Slovakia.
@@IndigoTraveller stay safe man, you got bigger balls than most walking around this world
@@capam15 what!
I honestly don't know how you do it Nick. It's sad to see how people struggle in so many countries. Much love to you.
The suffering is caused by evil Democracy, these people are not evolved to be part of society and it is why they suffer this way, their world has been taken and they are left dead.
Thank you Claudia, much love.
I was thinking the same thing… amazing every series
מנ
How do they struggle with charities getting millions to help them I wonder
I love how no matter how poor the people, the children are always so beautiful. Our children are our treasure.
WOW Nick you’ve just raised enough money to help over 30,000 kids for 30 food packets each! AMAZING!!
You are literally a life saver!!
That is great but what about after this money runs out? Is this cycle doomed to last forever?
Clearly such programs don't work. Untold millions have been donated and food is dirt cheap there. Sure a few kids get minimal help but the issue continues to keep people donating and keep charities afloat. The only people seeing life changing results work at the charities. As long as the money continues to pour in the problem will never be fixed.
@@FreedomLovin exactly. Be better to invest in some knowledge and equipment for farming.
@@knobrotknobroti was thinking the same thing… but things like those are much harder to actually put into use
There are millions of other people who could be doing the same thing. 30 food packets for 30 thousand deserves to be praised not criticized
Thank you again for this video. This is my hometown Bentiu which I mentioned in your first video on South Sudan . Seeing the place where I was born and grew up in such a situation leaves me in tears. I lived in that camp for two years before fleeing on foot to Sudan with a group of friends. It took us fourteen days to reach the first Sudanese border town. We stumbled here and there on bodies of people who had died either of hunger, thirst or sickness on the way, trying to reach Sudan.
From Sudan I went to Egypt and then to Libya where I crossed the sea to Europe. Living in the Netherlands today, there is no single day I don’t think and feel bad about suffering of my fellow South Sudaneses.
My life here is not that good as I don’t have resident permit and Dutch government wants to send me back because it thinks South Sudan is safe . But I am much better off.
Our country is blessed with natural resources, hardworking and resilient people. But the government we have today is a curse to the country. It gives nothing to the people but wars and suffering. But there is hope; there are good South Sudaneses out there who want a better South Sudan. I hope one day South Sudan will be a good country where its citizens will live a decent life and don’t have to flee.
Thank you for sharing a bit of your story. I hope that you are able to be and feel at home soon. Everyone deserves a home.
Oh my dear...🥺 God bless and keep you and bless you with a permit to stay. Keep strong. Don't stop believing. Lots of hugs for you. I pray for you and our brothers and sisters who suffer like this. God help us.😞🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️🌹
I just hope you will feel at home in my country. It will not be easy, but I wish you the persistence you will need to carve out a nice excistence here.
Why is there so much flooding and why are they living in such low elevation areas dependent on levies?
Wishing you all the best!!!! Can't imagine how hard life is in some countries, and I really hope you get the resident permit(if not in Netherlands there are other countries in Europe that can grant you resident permit,but I hope everything works out for you there 🙏🏽🙏🏽).
Normally I would complain working on a Sunday. I complain that it stresses me out not having a day off for weeks at a time. But these videos really humble me. I have it so well in comparison.
Thank you for all you do and the risks you take to bring us this kind of content. Truly.
What an incredibly humbling series Nick. I'm lost for words.
Holding my baby extra tight tonight and praying for the babies of South Sudan who are in need of life saving nutrients. I had to donate, you do amazing work. God be with them all🫶🏼
I honestly think that you are starting to have more of an impact on the lives of those people in those struggling countries than most well established charity organisations.
Nothing short of remarkable.
Too kind, thank you so much.
I have to agree. I haven't donated to Unicef in ages. However, after viewing Indigo's previous Sudan video, seeing the poor soul writhing on the ground amongst the flies, I was compelled to give. I wish for this dudes safety as he witnesses the travesty that is the human condition. Peace.
I was thinking the EXACT SAME THING JUST NOW. Where is all those funds really going?
how does exploiting these people for youtube clicks impact these people?
@@travellingcharles6088
who did you give the moneh to?
I've lived and worked in South Sudan. Life is tough there. Thanks Nick for the awareness and showing the world the grim.
It was impossible to even shoot simple pics back then, I wonder how you do it.
Thank you Juma, must have been interesting for you living there. Filming definitely wasn't easy.

I cannot imagine the weight you must feel not being able to help everyone you see, we appreciate the work you do and the awareness you bring. Such a kind, amazing man. The earth is truly a better place with you in it. ❤
how can you help even one or 2? you can give them money or food and that will help for a short time. they need to figure it out for themselves. its harsh but its what i learned as an ex con and en heroin addict. only you can fix yourself.
@@mromatic17 that's true. Sending some condoms would be the wiser solution, because whoever gives birth in an active warzone is just ignorant.
I have no words to describe my anger towards such people.
@@Der_Kleine_Mann same here i can't stand how they can't even feed themselves yet they keep popping out kids! I live in the usa and I only have 1 kid cuz they are so expensive! I love my son with all my heart but you gotta take responsability for your actions! its something that doesn't happen much these days cuz everyone is a special little snowflake! Once you get tossed out into the real world you learn really quick that no one gives a shit about your problems! I miss being a kid!
@@mromatic17 no one gives a frick u live in the USA one of the most privileged country’s in the world. Most people here give birth because they are forced to and get ra*ed daily. And their so desperate for money they need help

I only found your channel recently and watching this video brought tears to my eyes. I’m from Sri Lanka and I thought our situation is tough. This video put all things into perspective for me. Keep up your good work, Nick. I contributed to your donation the best I can.
This is without question the best CZcams channel I've found in years. Some of the footage is so raw I need to take breaks while watching but Nick does such a great job humanizing these far away war-torn countries that I don't think I would've ever known anything about otherwise.
Absolutely 100%
It was humbling and inspiring to see that Young man at the garbage dump who was looking for things to sell say "can you give me a job"
He didnt ask for a hand out he wants to work ! the young man and those kids who gathered together small boxes to hold their shoe cleaning kits and clean shoes are an inspiration as well. these people are tough and yet so friendly and kind. they want to work and they just have no opportunities.
Thank you for making this series. Approximately 10 years ago I spent a few years based in Juba for a UN contractor. I had been to all of the locations you showed and they look the same as they did a decade ago. The people of South Sudan will be for ever in my heart. It was difficult for me to describe to my family why I came back a changed person but your series was very accurate and helps explain the situation in the country
I'm homeless in America and i live like a king compared to these people. Makes me think of the guy with no shoes who was complaining until he met the guy with no feet... May God be with you on these trips to get the word out, there are people who care and can help just need to make them aware.
Keepemcoming.
Amazing words David, thank you and hope you are doing ok out there!
Life is so much about perspective, isn't it? God be with you.
As a South Sudanese i am hopeful that things will get better😢😢😢
South Sudanese men need to stop making babies, that is MOST of the problem ! What the hell is wrong with you guys ???
So stay there.

man, you playing comfort and joy hit me like a ton of bricks. the wife and i have been super poor in rural mississippi for 15 years now, but damn are we thankful for the things we have.
I just finished watching this video, and as an African, I am now grateful of the life I have because now I see that they are many people that have it bad but still stand resilient. My hopes and prayers are that with time Africa changes for the better and we start to show more love for eachother and see prosperity in our communities. Thank you for sharing this. Enlightening journalism. We have a long way to go.
Africa has the second fastest growing economy in the world, they’re 53 countries in Africa and south Sudan is the newest country in Africa and now there’s a civil war over oil reserves, almost every country has had a civil war including the US
Something I’ve noticed from watching these travel channels is it’s always the people in the most impoverished, roughest 3rd world places you could possibly live that always give the warmest most genuine smiles. We in the 1st world could learn a lot from them. Peace and Love from an Irish American in NYC ☘️🇺🇸 to the People of South Sudan 🇸🇸. Your country is young and it will grow into maturity and stability, but you must grow with it and leave the tribal conflicts in the past.
Thank you for these words. The smiles are beautiful.
Amen
It will never grow into maturity and stability
Try living there and see how far those "warm and genuine smiles" take you.
I swear, white people are so effing schmaltzy and want desperately to believe these primitives are a portal to some deeper, soulful meaning in life. That they're unfortunate victims of circumstances greater than themselves. Newsflash: they're not. THIS is who they are, and always will be. So stop importing them into your countries, because they will waste little time in rendering your country every bit as unlivable as the ones they eagerly fled.
Smh “people are surviving off this fish” fish that has flys all over it??? Damn Nuer people are so embarrassing
Nick, I continue to appreciate your work. You aren't a travel vlogger, you're a journalist plain and simple, you are going place and exposing the sheer poverty and devastation in a number of these 3 world countries. It's almost hard to imagine that in 2022, there are still so many people in this world that live impoverished lives. It's terribly sad and very disturbing. Keep doing what you're doing Nick, and stay safe!
People only seem to care about Palestinians, that’s why there’s still so many people around the world still suffering because their voices aren’t heard as much, and they deserve it more, they struggle much more than Palestinians do, but people don’t see that
I’m obsessed with your channel. Absolutely superb coverage every time.
Your interactions with people in these harsh countries going through unimaginable hardship are so insightful and you do it with so much dignity and compassion. Not to mention the charity donations you provide.
Bravo and thank you for your hard work.
I feel so sorry for these people. It also makes me grateful to be Australian. It just shows me though how cruel this world really is.
Same here man, we got it too good here
You're a true inspiration Nick. You've moved me to not only donate for the first time in my life (at 30 years old) but also to get proactive with my life and to start thinking about and caring for others (I've been selfish and ignorant for far too long, taking my very comfortable life for granted, and not even appreciating it). At the very least, I vow to domante £10 every time you upload a video. It's only a small gesture I know, but it's a start. Hopefully with time (as I expand my mind and grow as a person through the likes of your videos and awakening to great literature) I will develop a more hands-on approach to helping people. Thanks again Nick, and keep up the great work!
The series Human Planet really helped shift my mindset to develop more gratitude and empathy so I highly recommend that. I commend you on seeking to improve your perspective and maturity.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us and vowing to dedicate your resources and time to help others. This is how we make the world a better place. One person at a time.
That is a great attitude! You are an every-day hero with this mindset! 👍💪🧠
Yes. Get outside.
Admirable them smiling despite these horrible living conditions. Thank you for documenting this, you have real balls visiting all these places.
I feel like videos like this remind us that people are not defined by where they live. People are people, kids are kids, and life goes on. I think we forget how lucky we are sometimes.
Today, I stumbled upon your channel. The work you’re doing is so important, in my opinion, to spread awareness. Really awesome stuff. Permanent subscriber here!
I honestly stay awake Sunday nights waiting for these, what you do is so hectic, your a brave man and you can't find this kind of content anywhere else. Your a bloody legend mate.
It's midday Sunday though 🙈 You are Australia maybe?
Thank you Tommy, appreciate you staying up :)

One lesson I always learn from these videos is appreciating that we have toliets and clean sanitation. So easy to take for granted, but so very important.
Nick, I'm not sure you fully realize how important what you're doing is. Aside from this being very high level of journalism, your courage, openness, drive to share and willingness to take risks is outstanding by every imaginable measure. Your videos should be featured in schools to have a better understanding of our world, embrace empathy, clear vision on the status of humanity and to understand how overconsumption, striving for power and wealth effects the part of the world most people are absolutely not familiar with. Thank you for your amazing work and keep up the good job, it's highly valuable!
this really puts into perspective how ruthless reality is, nothing cares about who you are, or your feelings. The only difference between those poor children and us, is the location we were born... that's literally it. Nobody gets to choose where they start out in life.
The fact that you still see so many smiles, light spirits, and making your place in life work is something we can all take away
location has nothing to do with it.
@@davidrenton location in meaning which part of the world..
@@davidrenton how does this make sense?
@@144chosen because the reality it's more to do with culture, values , there is no appreciable difference in geography between say N Korea and S Korea, 2 wholly different outcomes.
There is nothing special about most Rich countries geography, Japan being a great example , it drew a bad card , geographically speaking, but it's culture allowed it to thrive into a Modern Peaceful society.
So in most countries whether it turns out to become a rich educated country or not has little to do with physical location apart from some edge cases.
We see some ex colonies thrive, some not, we see some countries that experience devastation, rebound within a generation, so at what point is a country like Sudan, or Mali , Haiti , it's problems really a reflection of it's people.
Luck isn't where you where born, but being born into a tradition and customs of a culture that applies the rule of law, that respects the individual, that acts for the common good, not tribalism, things that our ancestors fought and died for
Saying it's just the land , disregards the history , and inventiveness of the people of those places that thrived. The land isn't magical, it's just land. It's doesn't imbue special properties to the people.
Swap Japan's population, put them in Sudan and Sudan's in Japan, and then you have Sudan being very rich and Japan being very poor.
@@davidrentonthe point is still the same you could have been born as a lil kid in this video. You think you could change the place with your super good ways of thinking and morals highground and smartness you think you have? No. So it’s still about where you’re born is how hard it will b for you
I cannot imagine how horrible it must be to grow up in these conditions and try to live yet. Yet, people do and that shows how resilient people can be. We complain and make a fuss about all things around us every day, but those complaints really fade away if you see what these people must endure, and they still manage to smile and live life under constant threat of violence and disease. Thank you Nick for bringing this sad tale to us. We hear on the news and read in the papers that South Sudan is in turmoil, but this series has made the reality of it so much clearer. Thank you for taking the time to visit these terrible places where normal people are too scared to even talk about.
Don't worry a little diversity will be coming your way soon, you can have green puddles of toxic waste near you soon 👽😂
Thank you for documenting the series , I really appreciate it.
Thank you for these videos! Just finished watching your series on South Sudan and Haiti - learned so much. Stay safe and keep sharing these important stories with the world!
Thank you so much for showing the human side of war, it is too often forgotten within all the politics. Your own compassion and kindness shine through every video you share. Stay safe!
Thank you Cheryl, that means a lot.
It's heartening to see that even when living amidst horrific conditions of poverty and starvation, people still retain the ability/find reason to smile, laugh and shrug the difficulties of life off. Remarkable nature of the human spirit right there. Glad that you're covering the conditions in these places and helping to draw attention and funding to help these people, Nick.
It's really incredible what the reach of a good storyteller can do. The fundraiser is at over 300k at this point... you've done more in this series than most will do in their entire lives. Truly something to be proud of, Nick
As always I wish you good health and safe travels, wherever you end up
I’ve never seen such a horrible place. Just astounding. More people should see your videos Nick. Well done
We’re very lucky to have good lives.
You should watch cannibal warlords of Liberia by Vice here in YT. This is nothing :D its really good documentary tho.
The amount of donations is absolutely crazy! Well done Indigo traveler viewers!!! YOU did that. Only 5k short of the 300k goal and that is absolutely applaudable. Well done. Well done...
It's heart breaking watching people living in these conditions and knowing that most of the world turn a blind eye to it.
That is true, I've feel bad for kids who childhood have be like this.
You cannot do anything for them. Charity doesn't work. Stable governments and less corruption is the answer to most countries problems. But you cannot force that
Why? They do it to themselves. You could dump (another) trillion dollars into that continent and they'd still be the same 10 years later.
@@markrenton3941 that's a very broad brush and wrong.Certain nations there ,which are few, are on the rise and their economic growth has been above world average.
@@pietrojenkins6901 Its not wrong youre just trying to virtue signal. The fact you can watch these videos and still think its 'economics' that makes these places festering shtholes is just displaying communist levels of outright lying for the sake of appearances.
Thank you Nick. Doing the work that needs to be done so people can see what’s going on. Stay safe and thank you for doing what you do.
Here I thought I am living in the worse Country , SA and now I've seen it all. This is mind blowing and you guys , sacrifice your all to help these people. God bless you Nick & all of those that sacrifice their lives , helping you with your project. Real team work . Salute you all.
Heartbreaking & makes me feel so ridiculous when I think of complaining of my own problems.
Most people with any sort of money to travel normally sit on a beach drinking margaritas, the fact that you chose to travel to show the world the hardships in other country's instead of the leisure side of traveling says a lot about your character. Good on you Nick! Stay safe out there mate.
I mean, you know he monetizes his videos right? I pulled up statistics and he is making anywhere from a MINIMUM of $4,000 to a MAXIMUM of $62,000 a month in ad revenue in a 30-day period. (His max average of $62k, low average of $4,000, depending on viewership/ad ran); an average of $1,145/day. This is no charity number. I am not saying what he does is not impactful, it definitely is, but its not like he is going into debt to provide these videos, there is a clear monetary benefit.
EDIT: What I meant to say is he would not be making this type of content (nor money) by standing on a beach drinking margaritas lol.

Great Video👌. Was working for the UN in 2020 and landed in South Sudan in Juba to collect other South African humanitarian workers. We weren't even allowed at the time to leave the aircraft & security on the ground were super sensitive about taking any sort of pictures whatsoever. Seeing you be so brave and documenting this experience is so commendable 👏👏👏👏👏👏 Well Done!!
You have a huge heart man keep up the good work showing us the world and everyone in it!Hope your ok and safe!!!
I absolutely love your videos. It helps me remember to be thankful. I'm seriously worried about your safety though. Hope you have a good team with you.
Met so many lovely Sudanese folk in my 6 months in the Jungle camp in France and the situation is tragic. Thanks for sharing it Nick.
And people question why they fled!
I honestly don’t have words to convey how this series has touched me. My father is from South Sudan, though I have no memory of him. I everything I have learned about this country that is part of my own heritage has always been through the lense of the news. You have given it a real face. A soul. Unpretentious and raw. Very sad and painful. And yet, somehow there was a tiny flicker of hope there. I am deeply impressed by your courage to take this on, not only from a safety standpoint but it must have been very hard emotionally too.
You have truly impacted me with this series. Thank you.

Excellent production and editing. Safe travels.
God bless you, Nick! You’re a good man!
The smile of that young boy after you paid him for cleaning your shoes had me shedding tears.
John, beautiful smile he had :)
These videos really put things into perspective. People living in developed countries are living in a kind of bubble. They don't know how hard life is for some people. Something as simple as clean water or a roof over your head is a luxury to many people in the world.
Nick, you are a true blessing and an angel for the work that you do. Your bravery truly helps us see parts of the world that we otherwise wouldn’t be able to see. I never have a dry eye after watching your videos and after every series I add many more beautiful souls to my prayer list. Thank you again for all of your courage and setting up donations for us to help out. I am always praying for you and your safety❤🙏🏻
This is hands down one of the best content you can get anywhere and it's free!! I've been following Indigo for a lot of years now and the courage he has of visiting this places just for other people to know the reality it's outstanding! Keep doing your thing!!
I’ve been to third-world countries, and the experience was eye-opening. I've been showing my son these videos so he knows how good his life is and never takes anything for granted.
Honestly what in inspiration. Keep shedding light on all these places people are too scared/refuse to go to out of arrogance/misinformation. It is humbling and a reminder of what the vast majority of the world lives through, while we're shielded from it all. Much love
Beautiful words, thank you.
I don’t think it is necessarily that people are too scared or refuse to go due to arrogance or misinformation. Sure, some people may be judgmental about South Sudan but not going there as a regular person is completely fine and sensible. South Sudan does not exactly have the infrastructure to support tourism, and it is a very dangerous place for foreigners. Why would you shame regular people for not going there? I don’t thin I should go there, and I refuse to go there, but that is not because I’m ignorant or misinformed. It is common sense which stops most people from going there. I can still educate myself about the situation and have compassion for the South Sudanese without going there personally. I don’t think you gave your comment a lot of thought. 🙄
Not out of arrogance or misinformation but out of actual danger.
@@buttercxpdraws8101 I agree but I don't think they were trying to offend you.
I find it more sad that such places even exist. To me, it is a sign that something is wrong with how every country in the world is run and working together in general.
I mean, why would a toddler, or any of the other people in this video, in these camps, deserve to suffer? They don't.
What have they done? Are they all bad people? Even the children? Surely not. Even criminals and narcissistic assholes can live comfortably if they are born in a wealthy country.
How come some people are being published so severely just because they were born in a place like South Sudan?
I am not trying to attack anyone, I just really, really hope that this suffering will stop. To me, this is beyond injustice, it is literally insane. These people deserve so much better.
Guess I'll go donate a little bit so one random child can have some food 😅
@@phoenix72999 Well said. I'm not shaming anyone for not going, I didn't mean that, it's their choice. But in general people don't go to most places if they aren't glamorous, or if they've heard rumours about them. Only a very select few countries are genuinely dangerous and should be avoided. I'm thanking Nick for shedding light on these sorts of places, that's all.
We don't talk about these countries as much as we should. Thanks, Nick, for shining light on these beautiful people living in disparity. You are keeping us apart of the conversation. We can all do more. You certainly are.
Dude... Your journalism, objectivity, respect for others and narration skills are unmatched. Thanks so much for sharing these harsh realities with your channel. I donated through the Unicef link - I hope everyone does! It always feels a bit cheap to just donate, but unfortunately that's all I can do, together with raising awareness to others.
So hard to watch people suffering when we are sitting in our warm homes and being able to buy what we need to survive .. Nick thank you again for a deep soul crushing video showing us how other people live in one of the worst countries in the world.. All people deserve the basic things to survive like water, food, and a roof over their heads. prayers to all
I really enjoyed this whole series. Thanks for all you do Nick, the work and the light you shed on "darker" parts of the world is absolutely eye opening for anyone who hasn't explored outside their comfort zones. Wishing you great health and safe travels!
The world needs more people like you. Ive been watching you for a few years now and support every single effort you make. You're amazing and the world is a better place because of you.
Spent a few months there during 2012-2013 with military. Changed my perspective on life for sure
You're making a difference Nick. Not only for the people you meet, but also for your viewers. Cheers Pete
Incredible work Nick. Touching stories. Thanks for helping us have empathy and understanding for people we may not otherwise consider. Your ability to fundraise through this channel is astounding and it’s an honor to be part of this global community you have started. Stay safe friend.
By far the best channel on CZcams!! Thank you, Nick, for using your platform to support these unfortunate humans, educating the public, and the MAJOR reality check! The fact you put yourself in harm's way speaks volumes about who you are. You and your work are beautiful and amazing!!! ❤👏
This channel is so good man. Thanks for shining light on situations like this. Seeing these young kids work so hard at such a young age is incredible. You put it perfectly, the resilience of these people is truly inspiring. Great journalism
Your hard work and dedication has grown your channel to the point of making a difference. Your ability to raise donations so quickly after a video release is awesome. I'm guessing it keeps you motivated. Wishing you continued success!
Whenever I watch your vids i get a burning desire to help, voluntary work, donations , anything. Hope other ppl get the same reaction when watching this. Amazing work with raising awareness Nick. Keep up the good work
Definitely!
@Critical Strike Forge relax buddy. Mine doesn't
This series has been amazing. The editing is amazing, the story is amazing, the interviews, everything. I am blown away by your courage and desire to get the truth out about what is happening in this country, as well as working to save the lives of the children and people there. Bravo.
Nick, your work is both compelling and important. It is also easily among the best on CZcams. I donated because of this, and I wanted to say that because absolutely all the thanks for that donation is owing to you for your work.
Thank you nick for all your work. It has truly humbled me.
Please continue this to show others how life is in other countries.
Thank you for these amazing videos. This one showing all the little kids swimming and waving at the camera was great.lovely to see them smiling and showing great curiosity. 🙌❤️
What I love about your videos the most is that you treat everyone like a human being, and not like a sensation, no matter how different they are or what conditions they live in. You ask questions, shake everyone's hand, and learn their names. You don't get overly excited or surprised by something being very cheap (like some other CZcamsrs I have seen). You take time to properly interact with the locals not just to get the best shots but to actually understand and raise awareness. I appreciate that you don't try too hard to be chatty or funny, and you manage to keep it real. Thank you for your work.
My heart is heavy with how desperate the conditions are in South Sudan. Thank you for going and illuminating the conditions there. Take care, Nick. 💛
Thank you,Nick...you are beyond amazing. Not easy what you do.
Thank you very much
From Australia Nick You have Balls of Steel what an Amazing Journalist Keep SAFE and Thank You for Your Reporting
It's absolutely incredible the resilience these people have, even in the face of horrible human atrocities, severe poverty, constant flooding, you see smiles on some of their faces. It really brings tears to my eyes to see such young children who I know have witnessed the worst of humanity and yet they get excited to see a foreigner and want to have their pictures taken. Really amazing work you're doing with this channel, sometimes I think the media that reports on these types of conflict zones really leave out the human aspect of the situation on the ground.
How do you mentally manage with the suffering you see in the countries you visit? You are doing incredible work documenting the way you do, thank you! I really hope that these people may see changes for the better in the future. No one deserves to live like this.
And not just that, think about eating/drinking there: the hygienic conditions are beyond terrible for anyone without "piranha-like antibodies", so the physical health would be affected too, I guess.
This is the majority of the world. Most of our planet is a shit show
@@AlessandroGenTLe you are supposed to take certain vaccines as precaution before you end up in some of these 3rd world developing countries as a westerner and even then it's only soo much. These are beyond brutal conditions for what we regard as conducive to being healthy in the west. It is truly horrific what has happened to the state of these areas from conflict and war.
@@billypurdy8581 Of course, I know (I've been in Nigeria and took vaccinations) but still they will not preserve you from bad water or spoiled food :(
I feel sorry for the fish and livestock doing their job everyday trying to evolve but are drowned in a mountain of trash by uneducated beings.
The resilience of the human spirit, especially in children is nothing less than miraculous. These videos bring me to tears every time. Thank you for sharing your journey and bringing these images that are so hard to comprehend by most people in the western world. I really hope that things get better and that these beautiful children will have a brighter future. Much love from New York 💔❤️
Because of your video I donated $100 to Unicef. Thank you so much for these eye-opening documentaries. You are truly inspirational and making a difference.
Man I really appreciate what u doing for my people it means a lot ,its really a hard environment to live out there .people.dye from sickness and starvation and its really a blessing for you to go out your way and find a way to help my culture.
A lot of these people really do deserve better. They live in such fearful conditions and I honestly don’t know how some people can cope with it. I hope these South Sudanese people go far in life. ✊
I have no words, Oh Lord help everyone in South Sudan to live a better life, amen.
Religion unfortunately hasn't helped them after many decades of praying.
Thank you so much Nick for going to these places and bringing it home to folk about just how bad things are for certain people, around this world. I first heard about the plight of a small group of South Sudanese guys, just after the formation of the new country. I heard it on BBC World Service at 2am, some years back.They were a group of fellas who formed a basketball team, who had all been injured by stepping on mines. They were desperate to get a bus with a ramp for wheelchairs, so they could travel to matches. I so wanted to help them but I was in a very bad financial position at the time. I remembered South Sudan, over the years and how I'd still like to help in some way. I just watched this video and have donated via your link to UNICEF. I'm not sure if it's a one off donation though. I'd rather it be a monthly contribution. Thanks so much for you brilliant videos! Stay safe mate!
Thank you for all the work your doing Nick!!!🙏
Damn it breaks my heart...
Kids are kids no matter where they are from or how wealthy.
Kudos for seemingly keeping yourself together.
I'd propably have burst into tears every other second. :(
Thank you Nick for all that you do it’s truly amazing the courage the time I know you make money for it but still you’re risking your life with complete strangers they could easily take you under thank you for posting these videos I’ve watched every single one you’ve ever made keep up the work forever much love
Incredible series. Can't help but feel very fortunate after watching this. Delighted to see the fundraising go to such a worthy cause.
Thank you Nick for your courageous adventures and videos to show the world where we can all be humanitarian. God bless your work and safety.
Thanks for introducing us to so many fine people in your series from South Sudan.
I hope other CZcamsrs will get the chance to show us more and perhaps carry on the fundraising and the rare glimpses of a very new country born from a long war and the lives and efforts of countless generations of South Sudanese people.
You truly are an angel on earth. Thank you for sharing your experience. My heart breaks for these people 😞
Thank you, lots of love
Then bloody go and live with them. Nick and his team are making a living making these videos. Saints belong in Africa , he lives in third world New Zealand, talking about taking the piss, bloody liberal hypocrite.
Shot bro another amazing insight into another troubled part of our world thanks for your great planning and genuine love and concern for the people you meet its so refreshing and inspiring this type of journalism. I hope and pray you can keep doing your good works and help me and others learn about countries and our brothers and sisters from around our Earth.
Watching this breaks my heart and makes me realize how good we have it here in America even if we think we are suffering it's nothing compared to these people 💔 you are such an incredible person for all you do and bringing attention to parts of the world some of us would never even know about 🙏
At least these people will never have problems like having to fill tax forms, pay for speed tickets and organize their recycling bin every single week!
They don't even need to clean their toilet and they can poop pretty much everywhere they want! I'm not saying there lucky but there kinda bit lucky...
@@Reth_Hard Are you kidding
High quality worth material Nick. Thank you a lot! Keep going!
