Wilbur Sargunaraj (3) on responses to poverty



Don't live for money. It's not worth the fight. Share what you have, and let's distribute it right.
I discovered Wilbur Sargunaraj just this week, and I love the social conscientiousness that is embedded in his catchy songs.  Responses to poverty includes (a) ignoring the people and their problem; (b) giving to the poor, but avoiding contact with them as if they suffered from leprosy; and (c) true to Sargunaraj's persona and gambit, giving to the poor, but engaging them and making them laugh.  Of course he advocates for the last one, but he does so with a sense humor.
We’re not campaigners. We don’t want money. We’re not pushing for a single, specific solution to global poverty.

Eight documentaries from award-winning filmmakers and 34 shorts from new and emerging talents. The films are moving, subtle and thought-provoking stories, but they also tackle big issues and pose difficult questions.
