Illiteracy is a plague that affects 600 million Asians. It hinders development and progress. It is the root of poverty and exploitation. Raise awareness. Literacy empowers.

Do you Americans have the word "us"......I only ask 'cos [oops sorry!] what do I hear if I type it in to the comment box and press Audio Preview?....Hmmmmmm.....I'm paranoid!

I think the demographics here are misleading. There are four times the amount of people in Asia than any other continent, so the problem of illiteracy is actually the same in Asia as anywhere else. Looks like these folks couldn't read the information properly.

Good job guys. Very powerful video. The fact that you got the little kid narrating was just great and it added a lot of feeling to your video. Star Lauren.

Illiteracy is a growing problem in Asia, as the income gap grows and scores of children are left behind. Your movie did an excellent job of tackling this, and the narration by the 3rd grader was a wonderful touch. Well done!

As a teacher in Asia, I found this video particularly moving. The narration by a child is a brilliant stroke and very powerful. All points are simply made, which enhances the video's impact. Well Done!

i love the starting and the camera angles. its really good and i think by making a little kid do the narrative voice, makes it stronger. its cute

amazing i should say but i somehow don't like the narrator, have a kid reading it is a nice idea, but this kid is like emotionless when narrating maybe a young girl will be a better idea good job anyways

The juxtaposition of an optimistic child's voice with the images of the stripped innocence of his poverty-chained peers blatantly evokes the despair found in the situation of illiterate youths. I commend you also for the well timed editing, with calculated use of fades and text insets. Such unabashed use of tried and true pathos-grabbing techniques make Madison Avenue proud. Well done.
