Athene's a good guy, Most people don't realize it at first glance because he likes to play a pompous braggart in WoW. Hope this works out for the kids in Africa.
Thanks for supporting...spread it!!
I'd rather donate directly to the people in charge of helping the children in Africa than some random internet gamer person. Sorry.
This money goes into the hands of the "Save the Children", if you watch some of his videos his has a 2 hours confence call with them.
Is this KONY2012 V2?
Yes but without the scamming
Sorry but I'd rather donate it directly to them than to someone on the internet. Even then I never donate money since I can't afford it.
For the last time, the money isn't going to him ffs. It's a redirect payment to the company.
Lol look at the facepunch dumb fucks, you can trust these guys. been watching their stream for a while and they're doing a really good thing and all the donations they can get will help.
im gonna rate it dumb because im a cynical basement teen
Best way to help would be to get our asses to Africa and help the individuals there.

Best way of stopping poverty in Africa in general is if we buy their food. African countries don't have a lot of industry in them and they don't have many ways of making money except from farming. The problem is, they can't export it to European countries because we make or own food and buy it from each other for a cheap price, in which I mean cheaper than the food that could be imported from Africa. Our math teacher have been talking a lot about this (mostly due to the students in my math classes try anything to distract him from learning us math) and he states that if us Europeans could import more food from African countries, it could solve the poverty. This after reading a book called "food is power" (I am not sure if it is translated to other languages, but if you are Norwegian and are interested, search "mat er makt").
Right now we may import some, but that has of lower quality and is more expensive than the food we get from other European countries, so customers end up selecting European fruit and vegetables over African ones due to the same fact. African children aren't starving because of the lack of food and the countries aren't poor because of the lack of industry, the problem is that we don't buy it because we have better options. There isn't any indications in stores where the food is from, we could be buying food from Spain or Holland without knowing it and that in some store there might be sold some African food which may not be as good or cheap as the one we buy.
I guess the reason why governments haven't considered this, or if they knew, haven't tried to import more African and less European food is because it would end up in changes which would affect us. If we started importing African food, the prices would rise, production would be less and everything would be bad for us while we were helping another country. Sure, there may be other options we may have missed, but if there is one way of helping Africa, I wouldn't consider charity one, because if the organization have enough money to make TV commercials and/or have their own headquarters, you wouldn't wonder where they get the money from that from?
TL;DR: Europe is overproducing food and we could buy African food to help them, but it is more expensive and worse. And I don't thrust big charity organizations.
If there is something or a lot I misconception or you disagree with, just leave the usual "dumb" and comment on why you left it there. This is obviously a subject I may not know about, I haven't bought the book, but I have heard a lot about it and the situation it is about.
