    • Considero que es un buen trabajo, sobre todo en países donde los niños no son considerados seriamente como capaces de realizar sus proyectos

    • These children and others like them around the world will as e the planet. And isn't it better to invest resources in educating them in this way than to have to invest resources to attenuate the horrors of an escalating 'drug war'? It would be a shame to have the positive exposure they can get fade with the passing of Earth Day. Put them on Current TV!

    • 18 Rabbits work is helping to change the world for the better through awareness. HUNAB and organizations of this ilk are starting "our" children along a path of peace, acceptance of all people and a sense of responsibility for the future of our planet.

    • I'm familiar with this film, I've seen it on the www.18rabbits.org website . The young woman, Maritza, worked for over a decade to develop her organization and she has done an amazing job!
      And 18rabbits itself (disclaimer: I have been privileged to be able to make a small contribution to 18rabbits' work and am proud to have done so) is doing incredible work traveling around the globe featuring videos of small, humanitarian NGOs - many run by young people operating with limited funding yet dedicating their lives to bettering the conditions of their people.

      This kind of dedicated work, both HUNAB and 18rabbits (and a number of other organizations 18rabbits has worked with) is what's going to create the sustainable future we all hope for. As we all well know, recognition and broad-based support is essential to furthering the work so, to paraphrase the great Bob Marley, "get up, stand up, stand up for their work."

    • It has been a part of latin culture for the children to take care of their parent as they get older. I think it’s awesome to start embedding this aspect of latin culture into our youth today with how we take care of mother earth, or like the young girl mentioned in the video “grandmother earth”. Our youth will hopefully have much more respect for our environment if it is part of the way of life from early on.
