Something smells fishy .. give the people a piece of burger and some Coca-Cola and they TAKE back product and make millions of dollars ..I'm just sayin' 😔
As a Sierra Leonean I never knew the extent of poverty when I was there until now looking from the outside in...Thanks Simon for your laudable project, I hope it continues to thrive and meaningfully change the lives of many of my compatriots...
I think it's beautiful that this company is pouring profit back into this village and not just blindly but to help educate and to help infrastructure repairs that's fantastic if more companies would help the workers and the farmers that make their product possible a lot would change in the world
This is a joke you people make millions of dollars on cola you are helping yourself gave these people a fourth of your profit stop playing with people and help them you think they are fool because they're black you get this back you will pay for making fools out them it's coming
agriculture is their main source of income, if you really want to help, get farming tools and seeds for donation. cooking for them is cool but given them agricultural tools n seeds is more cooler
ThiS man is looking for cheap diamonds far into the rain forest. Bitter Cola nut trees grow allover the country, in easily accessible locations. He doesn't have in mind the economic prosperity of anyone other than himself.
A couple of white guys trying to help save the rain forest. I see all of these comments where people are complaining bc the white guys are helping them. If you don't want whites helping then you go help and invest money.
I think they're doing a good thing. Please come to California with that cola I'll buy and I'm sure alot more people will too. Just as long it's for the PEOPLE!! And no harm is done to the environment, because without it there is no life. Great job guys 🙂✌🏼
I notice a lot of negative comments regarding the foreigners. I think they are actually doing some good, and I am very critical of so called "charities". Like many other places in Africa, local people are beginning to see the value in protecting the lands they live upon. Even if it is for the commercial benefit for the Europeans to be buying the local cola nuts, their entrepreneurial example is beneficial to Africans. In other words, it may well inspire some of the local villagers to start their own businesses. And one cannot criticize the direct infrastructure improvements made in that village. I would hope that someday, a health clinic could be established and some of the young ladies sent to study to be nurses. As for someone's criticism of the serving of the cola drinks: yes, cola drinks are not healthy, but I suspect the villagers cannot afford to purchase cola drinks anyway, and this was a "one time treat". Possibly nutritional education at the forthcoming clinic might help.
Sierra Leone is a hidden gem waiting to be discovered, this video is just a small fraction of the greater export of products and also discovery of wild life park to be explored. Thank you
Oh, and by the way, the black helmet mask being danced in the village is a Sande Society mask used by the Sande Society, well known and studied in the West.
Fiona Gaceri exported HOW? They Dont have Any connections, no internet, no infrastructure, they didnt have a bridge before those europeans came and invested in this village...
The point is they should be gaining that knowledge to do it themselves eventually. It’s a good concept but the way that business is potentially being exploited, I doubt those villagers are getting some ownership stake, let alone being even told that they can have stake in the business. And if it is, I hope it’s in paper. That being said, the biodiversity part is the biggest justification for this business arrangement.
Ndegwa Ndirangu no, they just bought slaves from your Black brothers, who sold your Own kind... Did You See Any Chains in that Video? These People Are Free To Do whatever they want,
CosManCho that's the problem with people, ya want people to work hard and make money but you dont do shit but cook for them? These people work their ass off and and probably help build a company. If they didn't put in the work this business wouldn't thrive. These guys have the same resources in their factories to make sure these people are better taken care of. Get the fuck out of here with that. They may not have anything but if you were in the same situation you ain't gonna work your ass off for a multimillion dollar company just so you can get one fucking appreciation meal. They know how to cook for themselves. Smh....
The guy said a few bags of cola nut sets his family up for the year ya dumb fk, investment in learning and self efficiency and progression not just as individuals but a collective. What you doing, dont your company video helping anyone anywhere. Fk bro it's like you don't want anybody to even give a little to people that don't have much at all, there's 2 companys working in that village now. 1% of a million doller company is $10000 dollers invested into the community, 2 companys $20000, that's $20000 taken from the mouths of people from of people in their own country, but it comes down to ethical business practice which is part of their business model. I doubt it's $20000 but it's better then nothing and no assistance. That village is going to grow and prosper and create good humans not because solely of these companys but because of the great foundations these elders and parents are setting down. Same resource in factory doesn't translate to a price sensitive product. Every body expecting free hand outs, hey help these people completely or don't help them at all. That's bullshit thinking.
A ten foot bridge is what they got out of farming an supplying a western company. Sounds about right. I wonder what Mr. Karma's house in NZ looks like.
Hey the guy at 50sec-1:00 is wearing a Vancouver Canucks t-shirt in the green left side screen. #represent #1trillion tons of clothes waste from canada.
If A Man has been in and out of a country for more then 5 years and talks to them in hes own language and has a translator to understand there’s.I truely believe he does not have respect for them at all that’s just my opinion.
Those people and the beautiful land will be extorted by those Europeans . I pray they educate themselves to run the business without any assistance from the Europeans or corporation government.
Kelly R my thoughts exactly.. I'm sick of hearing black people be openly racist and nobody says shit. They claim they are the victims, yet they are the ones who openly hate. They don't even try to hide it, but I'm the bad guy for being white. Fuck I'm sick of it. If you want to be EQUAL then shut your black ass up and pretend to like everybody, like white people have to do.
Kelly R Where did you get or read anything about a status (what you call race)in my post? These persons stated they were from Europe.I clearly stated the jurisdiction of the nation that will extort these natural persons. I am not this artificial person in which you refer to by using the word "black". Apologize 😁
tasha80mgr you elude to the fact that they are white Europeans.....as most countries are white....and the people helping them are white....it's obvious you were trying to place blame on whites.... yet they are the ones who are helping....these people have their land back, a new thriving business, a bridge that helps them....and the whites did that.... so please stop playing stupid, we all know what you meant.
Kelly R you're entitled to perceive as you wish when you're reading something. I overstand levels of awareness. I'm not on the same backdated programming as you are, so I overstand why you claim these statements. I truly wish you love and light.
Sierra Leoneans have always loved strangers which is great, but we must learn to love ourselves even more.
What yall doing is trying to exploit those people resources and get rickh leave Africana alone
Troll, these guys are probably doing a lot more then you are.
@@maverick1993 Troll, these guys only want profits, otherwise they would have actually helped.
Something smells fishy .. give the people a piece of burger and some Coca-Cola and they TAKE back product and make millions of dollars ..I'm just sayin' 😔
Usually, it takes some time to answer questions about the mission of white men.
As a Sierra Leonean I never knew the extent of poverty when I was there until now looking from the outside in...Thanks Simon for your laudable project, I hope it continues to thrive and meaningfully change the lives of many of my compatriots...
🇸🇱🇸🇱🇸🇱🇸🇱🇸🇱🇸🇱🇸🇱
In my opinion, it looks more like a business deal than charity.
It can be both as it appears to be here.
I think it's beautiful that this company is pouring profit back into this village and not just blindly but to help educate and to help infrastructure repairs that's fantastic if more companies would help the workers and the farmers that make their product possible a lot would change in the world
There's 2 shops in my town that sell Karma Cola apparently so I'll give it a try today.
This is a joke you people make millions of dollars on cola you are helping yourself gave these people a fourth of your profit stop playing with people and help them you think they are fool because they're black you get this back you will pay for making fools out them it's coming
Marie Whitterson same situation all over africa
And in fact Sierra Leone among the smallest African countries has the highest mineral resources which consists of 26 of them. I mean precious minerals
Don't worry, Cola is there now, they'll take care of it now...
agriculture is their main source of income, if you really want to help, get farming tools and seeds for donation. cooking for them is cool but given them agricultural tools n seeds is more cooler
Well said!
ThiS man is looking for cheap diamonds far into the rain forest. Bitter Cola nut trees grow allover the country, in easily accessible locations. He doesn't have in mind the economic prosperity of anyone other than himself.
Cola is a nut, u never knew thought it was just a made up flavor!! Wow
Lol me too
Coke wouldn't become completely cocaine-free until 1929 and I thought that's where Cola came from. 😎
Me too people making money from the poor
A couple of white guys trying to help save the rain forest. I see all of these comments where people are complaining bc the white guys are helping them. If you don't want whites helping then you go help and invest money.

Brian Richards it's bc they are white. It's not hard to see who the real racist are.
You won't understand
poor as fuck. but at least they have samsung S3 and S4. LOL
Sierra Leone is a hidden gem waiting to be discovered, this video is just a small fraction of the greater export of products and also discovery of wild life park to be explored. Thank you
In this day and age people live like this it's beautiful in seri Leon but also hard to live there wish you all the best for the future.
Lol that phasmatodea bug climbing up that guys toes 19:47
Oh, and by the way, the black helmet mask being danced in the village is a Sande Society mask used by the Sande Society, well known and studied in the West.
How much further would the people of Boma be if they exported the kola nuts themselves?
Fiona Gaceri exported HOW? They Dont have Any connections, no internet, no infrastructure, they didnt have a bridge before those europeans came and invested in this village...

If these guys are genuine then we need more like them in Africa.
the sound is terrible
Soda fries and 🍔 they could have come with a better meal plan dang
Peope have best food in the world for ages - plant based. Now some dudes come in introducing junk food and coca cola, nice job!
especially the burgers!
I agree 100%
mindaza0 people have been eating meat for ages, what's plant based have to do with it? Cola is plant based.... Cola nut, sugar.....
was about to say
I had a ethical cola today. I walked to the store instead of driving...
This is exactly how colonization happened. They approach one of you, sell him an idea with a promise then they plunder your lands into nothingness.
Ndegwa Ndirangu no, they just bought slaves from your Black brothers, who sold your Own kind... Did You See Any Chains in that Video? These People Are Free To Do whatever they want,
bullshit. The village people are ripping off those Cola-guys with worthless plants. What a scam
The same old same old
my home country Sierra Leone
Food??? How about some Got-damn money or new buildings?
Godson And spend that money on fucking what?. They don't have shit there.
CosManCho that's the problem with people, ya want people to work hard and make money but you dont do shit but cook for them? These people work their ass off and and probably help build a company.

I thank you for how you guys are helping my people...bless from the caribbean
The word "Cola" is from Sierra Leone
A ten foot bridge is what they got out of farming an supplying a western company. Sounds about right. I wonder what Mr. Karma's house in NZ looks like.
TheLeatherChannel so you didn't see the students they're funding
@@AlfredoRe Theyre not funding anything. Those peoples work is funding everything
Undermining Coke and Pepsi (Y)
Is not really easy for our country
So the village makes them millionaire and they come back and serve burgers,.
They make profit
And in return burgers
☠
That guy is so fake ....

*beeps horn at people trying to have fun dancing, probably a ceremony of some kind*
Phoenix beeping is an international greeting sign.
U are missing the concept. You should say Boma and not Sierra Leone. You can't suffice for Sierra Leone
Finally helping instead of hindering a community 🙏🏽

Was that Chad Ochocinco on the right at 2:27?
These people get absolutely nothing/ exploiting
