For this video we travelled to Burundi (The World's Poorest Country) to change the lives of families and communities. *it gets very emotional*
The average wage in Burundi is $240usd a year which = 683,000 Burundian Francs. The least we gave families equals about 1 & a half year's wages....
I'd also like to mention that - Burundi has a heart like none other the Unity, Love and Kindness in this country is like no where else in the World. In many way's I consider this a very rich country after having the opportunity to experience it and make a difference here. I hope, that this brings you a view like none other to this beautiful country "Burundi". As well as encourages you to make a difference in your own lives & the lives of others.
