Documentaries...other country's poor...

I stumbled across these four while rambling around on utube. I was interested in ship salvage and found these.

Being poor here is different than other countries.
It reminds me of what blessed lives we all have on these forums...

Y'know, I was just thinking about that issue when I went to the grocery store this afternoon. There I was, surrounded by more food choices than most people in the world have ever seen, and I could have whatever I wanted.

I'm not crippled, in pain, or blind.

I live in a nicer home than the one I grew up in, with central heat in the winter and central A/C in the summer. My water is safe to drink. My every need is met, as distinguished from "wants" which is an entirely different thing.

Frankly, I don't have a damn thing to complain about.

As reported in the thread about "What have you read recently", I ran across a book by an African teenage boy who built his own windmill to generate electricity, after reading about wind power generation in a book. He did not even have pliers, or a wrench. For a soldering iron, he used a nail heated with fire. He was discovered and invited by the TED organizers to become a member and to make a presentation at a TED conference.

There's a million mouths to feed
And I've got everything I need
I'm breathing
