GETTING TO KNOW SOME YOUTUBERS - JACKSGAP SOCIAL CAUSES

SOCIAL CAUSES


   A few entries ago I said I was going to focus a little bit more on the trips Jack and Finn have made. Turn outs some of this trips have been more than vacations and they have traveled to some destinations to visit charities. This are those videos.

• COMIC RELIEF, SOUTH AFRICA: In February last year, Jack and Finn, were asked by the Comic Relief charity to go to South Africa to check their projects down there due to the fact that Comic Relief was celebrating their 25th anniversary. The boys also invited along their friend Will Darbyshire (also a YouTuber). Once they were in Vaalwater, South Africa they visited the Waterberg Welfare Society, a charity which helps to prevent and rise awareness about AIDS and HIV. There they had the chance to play with the children of the centre, talk to the people in charge of everything, dance, have fun, learn more about this disease and its social consequences and also enrich themselves (and mainly others) with this experience. Here is the video.

• THE RAINBOW CENTRE, SRI LANKA: That same year, the twins, plus their family, went down to Sri Lanka for the Christmas Holidays, but, while being there, they visited a charity named The Rainbow Center, which provides education to extremely poor african children. Before getting to the center they went to the village where this kids live to learn more about their situation. Both of the brothers were absolutely shocked. On the next day they visited The Rainbow Centre, were they had a totally different experience compared to the previous day.

• THE RICKSHAW RUN, INDIA: This is a video which can also be put into the travel category that later on I will publish, but I included it in the "SOCIAL CAUSES" category because, while Jack and Finn plus other four friends were crossing India, they were raising money for the Teenage Cancer Trust. I know I already published the trailer in a previous entry, but any way I'll leave it here in case you didn't watch or maybe you just want to watch it twice from a different entry!! Anyway… here's the trailer.

And those are the three trips this pair has made to different charities or to support different causes. When I watched this videos for the first time I couldn't help but fill inspired by them, I mean, it is amazing what they have achieved to do in such a short period of time, plus, it is more impressive if we take into account how young they are, which means they are just getting started. So I hope that you guys can also get inspired by this boys and take action to solve any problem you want to air rise awareness about a specific project, or maybe help one or more of the thousands of charities that can be found all around the world.
