That is selling our kids to the filthy governments so they can wage wars and feed the military industrial complex and big banks.

Terrie Smith you are correct. Nothing is free. Americans are going to get hit upside the head with a 2x4 while they’re looking down on their screens when they realize you can’t print yourself into prosperity. Fractional reserve banking only works if the bank can keep creating loans and people can still afford to make payments on those loans. When one of those fails and the velocity of money stops, only then will we find out that taxing the rich won’t work, interest rates at 0 won’t work, bail ins won’t work, withdrawing money from a pension or 401k will be impossible since there is no money there. It will be a rude awakening. Then we will look like Greece, Venezuela, Europe(France, Italy, Portugal) Mexico and other Latin American countries. Because we did the same thing those governments did(socialist, democracy, communist). They made promise, increased spending, expanded the government, create jobs for the now. All in the end steals from our future and our kids future.

I felt the same way about the guy running the soup kitchen. Seems very genuine and down to earth. The real way to help people and kids living in those types of slums, is to "directly" send money to people like him, that will use it to feed the "poor." But -- how do you find guys like him ? People that donate to big charity places, like the Salvation Army, Unicef, and other big places, must understand that out of every $ 100.00 they receive, about 85 -90 % is kept to pay the administrators. They run these places to make money from their jobs. The setup is wrong and does not work. Hopefully now with the internet, people can develop direct connections with people on the "ground floor" and send it directly to them. This will be the first step in solving poverty. The 2nd step is the people must get a government in power, that is democratic, and allows capitalism and free enterprise, and the people themselves, will have to build their own economy, like was done in North America -- being the US and Canada, that started out with very little 200 or so years ago.

NEVER donate your hard earned money for those "poor" countries... what you have to understand is that people in those countries use the fact of having kids as a "social climbing" mechanism... the more kids you make (and the earlier in life you have them) the more other people will feel pity on you for the sake of the kids... parents who would normally kick an idle lazy fucker out of home now won't anymore, because of the newborn... Companies that would hire someone change plans to hire the mother/father because the kid needs to be fed... and so on... This also happens in wealthy families, where kids are used to portray an external image of "honor" in being a household's father or mother, and thus gaining simpathy of the rest of the family, usually involving inheritances or lending of money... In both cases, poor or wealthy, if you are a young, responsible man or woman and you reach the conclusion that you don't really wanna have kids, you will probably be looked down as the scapegoat of the family and portrayed as the "not hard working one", and there will be no basic support for you, even though you might be the one who spends the less within the entire household. Also, hard working siblings will be taken advantage by others and every member of the family will overlook the other lazy/leech siblings bad behavior because he's got more charisma/is funnier /whatever the excuse might be. Hope I broke down the situation for ya, it's really sad when you really start to recognize these patterns repeating like a nightmare. DO NOT GIVE MONEY TO THESE FUCKERS

Seeing those kids who only eat once a day brought tears to my eyes. I'm glad you've been able to have these experiences that not many dare to. All people just want to be treated as human beings. Hopefully I'll be able to help out financially soon enough. LOTS of work to be done back home. Peace and safe travels my man.

I am not a religious person.. But I really hope there is a heaven for these people who find a way to help these kids eat at least once a day

I cried a lot watching THIS video. The sparkle in the kids eyes, the smile on their faces.... That happiness is priceless.

I have a special place in my heart for Venezuela and the Venezuelan people. I lived in Maracaibo from 1996-1999 when I was 10-13 years old. The absolute level of poverty I saw there blew my mind as a child. To think that the situation in the country has gotten 1000x worse is unimaginable.

@Blake is this true?

Hello! I am a newcomer to your videos and I am fascinated by the extreme locations you visit. It is most humbling to see how some people live, and I love that you find beauty in even the harshest places. Stay safe, my friend X (UK)

I'm so glad I just found your channel this week. You have opened my eyes to these amazing countries and allowed us to see what most of us can't afford to see. I love how much you help these people in the ways that you can, and from a humble new subscriber, thank you for your commitment to this channel!

I am originally from Venezuela, was born in Maracaibo and moved to the US when I was 2 (my dad is American, my mom and biological father are Venezuelan). I still have a lot of family back in Venezuela, but things have become way too dangerous to risk the journey as a family, and we haven't been there in 5 years. When you said you were arriving in Caracas, and planning on walking the streets, I began to get extremely anxious for you, even though you obviously were going to be fine in the end, haha! Even if you don't realize it, I am going to attribute great bravery to you for making this video happen. Thank you for using your platform to show your viewers the human stories behind the headlines of the mainstream media. This video reminded me that there is so much beauty in the Venezuelan ecosystem (those freaking mountains) in the midst of so much suffering.

truly heartbreaking...skint today but on payday the kids can have a slice of my money. much respect from the UK

lol I've been to prison, been through alot actually in my life like I consider myself a sociopath but at 10:14 when he says "they will give you a hug" I think I would just die inside from happiness if I would have a bunch if little kids run at me and hug me cause I made them happy just because of my presence

There are no words to describe how am I feeling right now after watching this, is really heartbreaking to see a country so rich going through this. I feel so lucky because I was able to leave the country in 2017 but watching this make me feel that those kids suffer so much and besides that they look so innocent and happy I don't know is so surreal. Thanks to everyone who donated money to those kids and I really hope one day Venezuela turns into a better place for those kids and everyone.

I just went onto the Gofundme and it looks like loads of people watching this have donated. Well done Nick. I'm an Economics Lecturer and have been following the situation. I can't imagine how desperate the people feel. Love to Venezuela from Dublin, Ireland.

Dude, I can't express how thankful I am to you. After watching this video series I'm feeling extremely nostalgic as you reminded me the beauty of where I come from, which is certainly not material beauty but human beauty, you truly are brave for being out there and showing the world a little snippet of what the people of Venezuela live through every day. I don't think I've ever seen anything as transparent and honest when it comes to Venezuela news on any kind of media, period. Thank you for putting this out there, it's beyond saying that you're extremely talented and that your videos are amazing, keep doing what you do for the world, I can't see you as anything other than a hero right now, thank you, thank you, thank you. And I hope you were able to get more content from Venezuela.

The moment the children got so happy to see you and screaming meu deus was so sweet!! I'm a social anthropologist and my dream was to basically do what you do, I'm happy I found out about your channel, keep up the good work, and soon when I'm more financially stable I want to contribute on my way too!

Nick I've been using your videos for script writing research and it's been such a massive help, I'm a huge fan of your approach, humility and honesty. Thanks mate

Lee Allen --- Don't go Pollyanna. The parents of those kids likely voted for Chavez. It's doubtful that the rich minority got him in. There's a lot of corruption and deception and vote-buying and ballot box stuffing - all on a grand scale - but you can't retain authority without some popular support. A lot of people down there want Maduro out, sure, but only so they can collect the "fair share" Chavez promised them. And those kids today, a brief ten years from now, some of them, may well be some of the teenagers that make that area of the city dangerous and potentially fatal. I've heard that in Brazil, in favelas, ten year old kids in gangs will roll you, and leave you with only your underwear.

As venezuelan, I think everyone should look at this vids and do some research before giving their opinions on the Venezuelan crisis. It makes me sick to see people that have never set a foot on our country to defend the government and say that there's a comunication war against the regime. People, open your eyes, Venezuela was/is one of the wealthiest countries in the region, but living the worst economic-helth-social-political crisis that our history have ever witnessed! All by a buch of narco-comunists. Indigo, I thank you with all of my heart for having the courrage to do this journey and show this reality. God bless you and the ones who received you in VE.💛💙❤

Who knows what nation could be next, even the prosperous western nations could have this happen. Wasnt Venezuela once one of the wealthiest nations in the world?!

Yea you won't see this on CNN. Part of it is they don't want to show the real results of socialism. According to the left socialism is the way to go. But like any of the Marxist ideology, Cuba, Venezuela, oh they just don't have it right. We will make it the "right" way. There is no "right" way for Communism, Socialism, etc., it's always misery for the people. It's just them trying to trick uneducated people into giving up their rights and powers to the would be kings of the government. Also for the same reasons, you won't see what's going on in South Africa because it doesn't fit their fake news agenda too.
