A few weeks ago was poverty week, a week to address what is going on in the world. For Christians, this is one of the very first commands for us, to help those who cannot help themselves: the poor, the widows, and the orphaned.
This campaign has been every successful and to get the word out even more, five guys were willing to be shot by 21,000 paintballs, one first each person that dies a day.
Here is their description for the video:
21,000 children die each and every day due to poverty related causes, such as hunger and easily preventable diseases. To reinforce the magnitude of this number, we shot five of our friends with 21,000 paintballs. We invite you to watch this video and feel the impact.
The nonprofit has several goals that they want to achieve this week alone.
- Increase awareness and understanding of the causes and consequences of poverty around the world.
- Educate people about the ways in which poverty can be combated.
- Encourage discussion and action by individuals, communities, and organizations.
