      Is it assured it is going to the right people ?, I mean I lived in south sudan and I know that place is corrupted on every level, including organisations. I am just hoping it goes straight to the victims , they are hungry because the big men are taking money that is not theirs. Plus I did not get an email back from unicef afterwards. Just wondering and continue the good work brother ,it is opening eyes to those who needs to know.

      Our first thought shouldn’t be how lucky and blessed we are. In our spoiled nations and lives that we live we already know. This should encourage EMPATHY for the plights of others in our communities and abroad. I’m so sick and tired of hearing the same tropes. How we are blessed and then thank our “God” but then do nothing for the suffering of others except watch from the comfort of our homes. Our words are hollow and meaningless and we have to do better. Our societies are sick and disconnected from the real world.

      That's because mainstream media is not journalism, it is business. And their product is fear. To anyone with even a passing interest in this topic, I advise subscribing and parsing through a wide variety of news sources, both large, mainstay, 'legacy' media companies like those which are the first to come to mind such as 3-letter corporations, on both sides of the political spectrum (as news reporting is more partisan than ever despite its purported impartiality there is now very little to no attempt to conceal bias) as well as independent journalism, which (like Nick here) is possibly the last place to get a balanced view with no hidden agenda. Basically, if you're going to watch say CNN (one of the most blatant left-wing propaganda mouthpieces) then watch Fox as well. In fact most 'news' stations are openly left-leaning, with Murdoch and his companies being one of the only counterbalances to this trend remaining, so if you want to get both sides of a story read multiple sources. One story may be covered completely differently based on the source. As for independent reporting, Timcast and WeAreChange provide valuable insight, unbeholden to the political views and special interests of any groups or entities with overall ownership.
      I'm of course talking about the West here, in most of the rest of the world (particularly in theocratic, authoritarian, oligarchical, or military dictatorships) there isn't even an option as to the news one consumes, there is officially only state news and the viewpoints and stories they sanction, so yes, in that respect we are somewhat blessed, though it may not feel like it at times

And you think they need more water?
      From the UNICEF website: RUTF is the abbreviation for “ready-to-use therapeutic food”, a life-saving essential supply item that treats severe wasting in children under 5 years old. Wasting is defined as low weight-for-height and happens when someone has not had enough food or food of adequate quality. If not appropriately treated, wasting in children is associated with a higher risk of death.
      RUTF paste was invented by a French research scientist, André Briend, 25 years ago and became commercially available in the early 2000s. It is made from powdered milk, peanuts, butter, vegetable oil, sugar, and a mix of vitamins and minerals.

    So far Nick has raised $175,000 for these children. If my math is right (there's a good chance it's not lol) that's 525,000 RUTF packets for them. His Haiti fundraiser did over $100,000. I have very little disposable income, but I donate what I can to his fundraisers and support Nick's patreon at $5 a month. Extra content for my favorite podcasts would be great and all, but he's out here literally saving the lives of children and creating top tier documentaries in the process. I hope more people will join so he can continue to travel to these places, shine a light on their struggles and get them much needed aid. It can't be cheap paying for the airfare, lodging, permits, security, local guides, rental cars, and whatnot all by himself.

    Another well put together video! The video structure is so well put together. You are doing a great job showcasing what the south sudanese people are going through, they deserve their story to be told! 🇸🇸

    Thank you Nick for the great job.
    It's hard to believe but it's a reality.
    I'm a South Sudanese and my heart aches whenever I see documentary like this. We've suffered enough. It's a prayer that one day things will turn around.
    A big thank you to all who are donating through UNICEF and other UN agencies. The little penny u give makes a difference. May God bless you wherever you are. Amen!!!!
