They are millions
anguished
disoriented
unloved
isolated
alone
rejected
Don't wait
Act now, against relational poverty
We are in a high-school
in the region of Quebec
a prosperous city in Canada
The children you see
have everything you can dream of
smartphone
iPod, sports equipment
trendy clothes
They have everything
and yet
these children are poor
Children such as little Hugo, age 14
who barely even knows his grandparents who are all still living
Hugo's fate is a sad one
he receives no affection
no physical contact
Except from a massage therapist
paid for by his parents
children like Vanessa
this adorable 13 years girl
who has accumulated
more than 1,300 virtual friends online
but in reality
only a few of them
say hello when they pass her on the street
It is so easy to sponsor a child in need
Regular correspondence allows you to send "your" child
words of affection
or suggestions for getting along with others
whether they be neighbors
friends, family members, colleagues, or strangers
For one year we've been sponsoring a girl from Blainville, Canada
It's been two years now that we've been sponsoring Jules
a wonderful boy who lives in Montreal
Back then Aurelie had low self-esteem
since then, there has been a marked improvement
it is heartwarming to see that with these small gestures
one can help someone in need at the other end of the world
You too can make a difference
share this video
or go on the internet to the above address
It will take just a few seconds
to give these children
a glimmer of hope
Together we will win relational poverty
Coming up next
we present Mégane's touching story
about a young woman who became rebellious after being rejected
at the auditions of the reality-show Pop Mania
"The winners are just little *** "
"because in the end I have more talent than you, eh"
"and before this is over"
"I'll find your addresses"
"And I'll get my revenge"
"yeah, eh!"
