THE AFRICA CHALLENGE...

It is common to think rural people in Uganda are poor and sad, due to what we may consider a lower standard of living. Video shot in Bunabumali shows people are very happy.

This makes us question: what do people need to be happy? What do we have to offer? What do people need to know to live healthier, more sustainable lives? Are we any happier or healthier with all that we have?

Fortunate to be blessed with resources, do we have a responsibility (an ability to respond) in a way that will truly make a difference? We believe, yes! If we can help one child, then we change the world for that one child. But the question remains… what can we do to help create a sustainable life for the people of a small village in Uganda?

Our objective is to celebrate fulfillment through service, creativity and unity. The premise of this documentary is that we have as much to gain from a relationship with people in Bunabumali as they do from us, if not more.

Through the process of learning about what they need to be healthy and create a sustainable lifestyle, we will also learn to not take what we have for granted. Most of our food is not grown locally, but is transported thousands of miles.

Availability of cheap oil and soil depletion as a result of chemical farming have put us in a precarious position, relying on many factors beyond our control for our most vital needs. In a short time… the tables could turn.

Those living simple lifestyles in rural villages as they have for many generations will be a lot better off than people living - what is considered - a modern lifestyle dependant on global economics.
