Vlogging can help bring people together, it can be entertaining, but it can also help to bring about social justice. An example of this is What Jason Lewis is doing with Expedition 360. Jason recently posted a request on his vlog for help for orphans in East Timor.
The Hope orphanage was set up in 2001 to service the immediate needs of 25 children whose parents were either killed by the Indonesian occupation forces and militia in or around 1999, or who have since died of diseases such as tuberculosis. Check it out, share it with your friends, and help if you can.
Beginning at the Greenwich Meridian in East London in the summer of 1994, Jason Lewis and an eclectic band of travelling compatriots have bicycled, roller bladed and kayaked across continents and have pedaled Moksha, a one-of-a-kind pedal boat across the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
According to the Guiness Book of World Records, no one has ever accomplished this immense task. Today, after 12 years and 26,000 miles the adventure is entering its final stages. China, India, Africa, the Middle East, and Europe lie ahead. Since its inception, Expedition 360, has been documented by an international crew with over 600 hours of broadcast quality Betacam and DV footage recorded to date.
