Fascinating post Justin, sounds like a pretty messed up situation. If you set a donation page up let us know! As for the trolls, honestly go fuck yourselves, at least op is trying to make a difference in yhe world. All you fucking dicks are doing is munching through the world's cheese puff supply and using up your mums electricity while sitting in her basement. Go get a life. kirik, it's not for me to tell you how to run your forum, however you should really start swinging the ban hammer - Justins a fucking green name and a great poster, why should he expect a ubuse? It's unacceptable IMO.

Hey Justin. I just got the chance to read a little bit more about your travels through Google and I stumbled upon your Vimeo page that featured you in the Congo. I checked out the short clips, and the one with you running and playing with the kids in the orphanage really was touching. When I first got wind of this story, due to the UG's negative reaction, I had admittedly passed it off as some strange Christian thing. I fully admit I was wrong and it's wonderful to see someone do this. People don't understand that we are lucky to hit the lottery of life and be born in America. It's awesome when people born here are willing to go to parts of the world where fortune and luck is almost nonexistant. It's crazy that most people here in the US cannot even comprehend that theses things are happening and these people are living their lives at the same exact time as us, with our cushy computers, cell phones, air conditioning. This is happening right now. The only difference between myself and one of those people is I was lucky enough to be born here. That's it. We are all humans, and we should all help each other. A roll of the dice could have put any of us in their shoes. I just wanted to say to you, keep up the amazing work man. |

Pygmies have had a hard time there for forever, I remember when i was starting out in psychology them being cited as evidence against the intrinsic violent nature of human beings, because physical aggression is so rare in their culture Great cause to stand behind...as for the guy who said about helping kids in america, kids in america arent at risk of suffering from genocide |

Justin, I commend you for going over to a foreign land and leaving behind many of what we take for granted to help a people that you hear little about. Your update is eye-opening to say the least. Continue to share Christ's love and do not be discouraged. Keep us updated on how we can donate. |

Justin- I remember reading about your mission and I am really thankful you are safe and doing well. Anytime you are exposing an injustice()of the many) that are happening worldwide, you are doing your part. Let me know if I can be pf any help. A website and a foundatiion with a paypal are great ideas. And for anyone who put down Justin on this thread, I hope you can look in the mirror and see yourself what you are- a d-bag taking up oxygen. TTT for Justin |

You had to know that the trolls would descend upon your thread. You are too positive to give them any energy. Don't. Not even the ones that are clever enough to cloak their trollness in seemingly coherent questions. Just don't. Helping human beings on the level you are is amazing and rationale people will commend you for it. Seriously, I look up to people like you. Bless you.

Justin feel free to pm me about this topic. Myself and friends have experience in the region. Some from doing security at orphanages, keeping the children safe from human sacrifices and others doing what they call God's work. Yet others just work on fundraising so less children need to be buried because $5 was too much money. Mostly in North Uganda, Rwanda and Congo. Might I also suggest you get in touch with Preacher. |

Justin, when you get back to the US ping me and we'll chat. I've been building out some technology that may be able to help you in your efforts as well... |

I commend you, Justin, on helping these people protect their culture out of the goodness of your heart & not a thing more. Many people & organizations go to less-fortunate parts of the world with the ulterior motive of religiously converting & indoctrinate precious cultures much older than their own. That you are not a party to that kind of shadiness and are instead aiding them out of authentic human solidarity is admirable & truly inspiring. High 5 X 1000. |

Justin, You are my hero. I mean it. You inspired me to be more grateful for what I have. I feel like the richest man in the world just because I have a warm bed to sleep in, food always available, and a job and college education to call my own. If you decide to start some kind of a PayPal donation system, I will happily donate as much as I can. I didn't read through the read for links but people post it on the top thread if there are any updates to this charity/donation/foundation process. I shared this link on my Facebook page. I have over 500 "friends" on it, hopefully majority will see it and it'll change their outlook on life. Its disusting to hear some people complain these days. "I got a parking ticket, FML! I'm depressed now!" Its truly sickening to know that there is a child somewhere on this Earth who has medical needs but is rejected because he can't come up with $15! One day, I hope to travel and help people in need. Its not right that there is suffering in the world when a few dollars can go a long way to preventing it. |
