At a Kenya's Life-Sustaining Water Hole
Kenya. Near Lake Turkana. Turkana nomads watering their herds
of zebus and goats at deep water holes the women dug out of a dry river bed.
Using large bowls they carved out of wood, the women scoop the water at the
bottom of the holes and hand it up to the men above, who pour it in wooden
troughs for their animals.

Walking to School in Ghana
In Adukrum, a village near Kumasi, Ghana, Ashanti children
must bring their own chairs to school every day. But they'd carry their desks
there if they had to. They love school.

Amazon Indians Never Kill Young Animals
To
eat, the Indians of the Amazon rain forest must hunt. However, they never take
from the forest more than what they need. We, too, kill animals to eat. We kill
cows, sheep, and pigs. And not always humanely. We also kill wild animals to
grace our walls with their heads or use their skins or tusks. We even kill
calves and lambs. The Indians never kill young animals. After hunting down
their mothers, they adopt them as lifelong pets, never to end as food. Women will
go as far as breast-feed the youngest animals.

Many of Brazil's Awá are still uncontacted, and they are running for their lives.
Today Colin Firth helps us to launch a major new campaign to save the Awá, and we need your help.
‘One
man has the power to stop the loggers: Brazil’s Minister of Justice. But it’s
just not his priority. Let’s push it up his list.’
— Colin
Firth
Please watch our new film, and take a few seconds to send a message to
Brazil's Minister of Justice: he can send in the federal police to catch the
loggers, and keep them out for good. And, even more importantly, please share
this with your family and friends. If enough people show they care, it will work.
