    it is probably better to go to the school itself and make a list of the kids without uniform or who the teachers feel may need it more.

      To be fair Danat helps out *a lot*, she's already gotten a lot in exhange but still.. She deserves a little extra now and then. And her family does live in what is essentially a shed and a few handouts aren't going ot change that, one can't blame her for taking what she can.

      @timbatee7433 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      She has been helping out the most by being Troy's assistant, and some of the donators have specifically directed Troy to help them out, so in all fairness, she does deserve some of what she has benefited.

      To be fair, Troy did make it a point to tell Donat that she needs to give to stop favoring her family first but I can't blame Donat either. Its tough to be totally fair when the village descends in force.

    Troy when you first met Danat and her family they were hounding you to buy shirts and bracelets from their shop. They are pros at pressuring you to buy or give to them. It seems like there is less appreciation for the donations from them and now they expect it. Unless the donors specifically says give to Danat and her family, I would focus on the others who have less. I see kids constantly being passed up video after video only to play second fiddle to the Danat family. Maybe have Somali or Hanglee help you hand out next time since they know a little English or maybe Marie? Just a thought

      Hi, well tbf Danat didn't exactly hound me. I went into their stall and started filming her & her family while they were working and they asked me to buy their bracelets. As did many other vendors.

      I don't think they're they'll quite go to that extreme.

      They don't really make demands.
      They just grab fruit etc that I intend to share out to the whole village.
      I told them I'll take care of them separately later but they still compete for the small stuff.
      Odom says he explained it to them after I asked but they still do it.

      @@troycambo, I don't think claireli88 was completely serious when she said that the family would demand for more modern and expensive items. It seems to me that Danat and the family know that they are in a special position to behaved and be treated differently and ask for things through Danat. Danat knows how and when to pressure you to get things from you. In an earlier video, you wrote that she pestered you for a full dragon fruit while the cut fruits were given out to the children. Today at the store, she was being pressured by her family to get things for them while you were trying get out of the shop quickly as it was getting dark. Great that you were able to be firm and clear in telling her that she and her family had received quite a bit from you. Today, a Xiaomi phone. What's next?

    It’s just not fair that Danat’s family receives the most. Danat just takes for granted that she can have anything she wants. I know she’s helpful, but she got a phone which is a tremendous gift. And even Troy keeps telling her that her family takes everything. She just laughs and ignores him. Somewhat aggravating behavior.

    So chaotic. I obviously can't tell you how to run your channel, but I do believe it is better that you decide what to do with the donation money rather than take orders from people that donate. If someone per example donates to give to these children, and then you make a video on it, then more people want to do so, then you are just stuck in this zone for a while, and I'll be honest, it's not that interesting to watch mainly because of how chaotic it is, it kind of feels like you didn't help anyone really, because there are so many people that need help, and unless you're a millionaire, you can't help everyone. I think you can learn from channels like vasya in the hay, they do similar type of content, but rather actually focus on a story, we get to learn about the person's past, how they are living, their situation, condition and after which they get help, and maybe revisits every few months. It is kinda like Chau Anh's series. Those type of videos are much more interesting to watch.
