At today's meeting we introduced the group to some college students who made a documentary based on a statistic they learned through their economics courses--1.1 billion people worldwide live on one dollar or less per day. The documentary is called Living on One Dollar and is available for free right now on Netflix. They also put together a series of short films on You Tube to educate people about the main topics covered by their documentary. | |
| After watching the introduction to the Living on One guys, we watched another video about the importance of clean water in these developing countries. I won't spoil it all (watch the video to the left), but I will say that the water in Pena Blanca is contaminated leaving the guys with a serious predicament... What do you do when the only water source you have comes from a pipe draining from the side of a mountain? |
