    I like the video very much. Way it shows the problem. Way of editing and graphic elements. But the soundtrack for me is irritating and doesnt work with video. Makes it very shallow

    La République de Centrafrique étant francophone j'interviens en français.
    Je connais relativement bien les pays d'afrique subsaharienne (mali, burkina, niger,...) où le problème de l'eau est critique. Il y a deux points que je tiens à souligner :
    - Le problème de l'installation de pompes en grand nombre sur les nappes phréatiques est délicat : j'ai vu des arbres mourir car leurs racines se trouvaient dans un sol asséché ! Il faut une gestion rigoureuse de leur usage sinon ...
    - le problème de la maintenance et de la formation à l'utilisation des pompes (également vrais pour pleins de matériels généreusement données par les ONG). La majorité des pièces tombent en panne en raison des conditions climatiques et ne sont pas changées. Donc ... éducation avant tout !
    Quant à ces associations et autres délégations conseils généraux, etc. qui se donnent bonne conscience mais se payent un voyage "touristique" pour amener une pompe dans un village ... elles feraient mieux de s'occuper de leurs proches (enfants, délinquants, vieillards).
    Pour l'Afrique il faut des structures rigoureuses et spécialisées et surtout tournées vers l'éducation des hommes.

    Why don't they just boil the surface water? Boiling kills anything harmful in the water.

    Firewood is very rare there, they can only use it to cook, but do not have enough to clean the water they need.

    this is really awesome. i'm not new to the whole issue of the horrible drinking conditions, but it's really inspiring to see some sort of hope arising from amidst of it all. i had no idea the 'clean' water was located deep underground. training and teaching individuals to build and maintain wells is a great approach.

    I hate to say this but when I tried to go to the pay pal site Noscript running on Mozilla gave me a warning that the previous site, Being the "Charity" site was crossing over to Paypal and was able to steal my information.

    Could be this was just an error on the part of one or the other sites but I don't see why I would get this error. It stopped me from giving out personal info and donating. Someone follow up on this please.

    it's a very good video, but the song really sucks. beck has some great stuff, but this song does not move me at all. i can, however, understand the reason for its use. as much as we want to believe that people 'round the world exposed to water like that are getting help, there are, unfortunately, people like that that don't want help."we got a time bomb".....yeah, we sure as shit do.

    i loved the text animation so much- ive been trying to teach myself adobe motion but have only managed to figure out the really simplistic stuff. id love to learn more.
    did you use motion or after effects?

    also- very inspiring message, and told in a way that really grabs your attention and refuses to let go
    great job
