2026 - Deported
Ok. But why is this a shit post?
Mickey7 has a non-shitpost pass because of his shitpost contributions 07
Is she not growing older ? It looks like she took the pictures on the same day 😅 nice to see the boy grow up
We’re not used to seeing people that experience non hate emotions 24/7 in the news
Well, you see, the gravity is very strong in Denmark. This causes a high amount of time dilation. This causes clocks in Denmark to move substantially slower than those in the rest of the world. He’s experienced 20 years. She’s only experienced about 2.
If I remember the village was ignoring this boy because they labeled him a witch or demon … something like that. Bad stuff started happening so his parents threw him out of the house to fend for himself and everyone in the area was fine with it.
Apparently this is the whole subject of her charity: kids being accused of witchcraft and such. It’s sad that this is an incredibly common occurrence.
Yea, imagine if you just got tired of your toddler and threw him out. That is kind of evil.
I’m tired of mine all the time. Many have told me they’ve never seen a child with this much energy and determination (once my kid’s decided on something, it takes a LOT of effort to stop it from happening).
Never have I considered yeeting the little demon though. That’s a special kind of evil.
Aight so now the witch is educated and wealthy, rip the villiage.
He could have been a good witch if they didn’t give him a villain origin story
AFAIK different people, but supported by the same person.
Nope, same person. True story.
I mean the kid in image 2 doesn’t really look anything like the kid in image 3, so the timeline aspect is bullshit.
What? Sure does.
Same kid. True story.
It’s not the same kid, at least not the 2025 image anyway. The image labeled as from 2006 is from 2016. It says so right on the ladies charity page with the now current photo of that boy with the original picture in the corner as well.
Is it now? True story.
I don’t think it matters much to the kids that now have a shot at life. What you are describing is a symptom of the exploitation of the global south. It doesn’t look like the woman exploits them, other than awarness to raise money to save more.
So you would have preferred her to refrain from helping the boy because of their differences in skin color? Isn’t that… wildly racist? Wanting the child to suffer more just because of race? Because it might resemble some cinematic/literary trope?
I suppose this is a decent reminder to limit my social media consumption. This is gross.
Okay but like if youre gonna have a charity and help people, how else do you expect them to help? Hire black people to send to africa to help africans? That seems pretty fucking racist to me.
Maybe they could wear masks so nobody could tell their ethnicity?
I understand where you’re coming from, and it wouldn’t apply in this specific context (where locals had rejected the poor boy), but in a general sense, the idea is to partner or invest in such a way to enable locals to lead the change efforts, or at least have a significant stake and voice.
In the business world, there are often silent investors who back entrepreneurs. Their financial input make a business possible, but leave the operations to the entrepreneur. The investor backs the entrepreneur, and they both profit.
It’s a different model and it takes more time and effort to find local partners to build up their capacity over time, but enabling locals will get stronger long-term results for the recipients of charity. It’s the difference between providing food packages to people and giving people agricultural tools to provide food for themselves in the long run. Obviously, in a situation of dire need, providing food is an immediate need, but only providing food instead of also providing tools keeps the recipients in a dependent situation. If they’re dependent on foreign charity forever, it’s just another form of control and colonialism.
What this woman had done, by caring for this poor boy, was long-term investing in him. Now he has an education and will be able to work and care for himself.
Wee boy was accused of witchcraft and being possessed. You can’t outcash superstition and corruption. Sometimes you need to put your feet on the ground but doing that would be white saviour complex. Fucking clowns
So… she’s actually in a place where people need help, doing the work herself, but you’re fixated on skin color? Because she’s white, she’s only allowed to help other white people without being mocked?
Attitudes like that are part of the problem.
Edit: here’s her website: Land of Hope
The woman in the top picture giving water to the starving kid actually happened though, she found the abandoned kid in Africa who was called a witch by his village and was on the verge of death so she adopted him from what I remember. You posting about fictional white saviorsin media has nothing to do with her being a human being and saving g that kid’s life.
At least it’s not a Shitpost about Trump
You left out the part where it’s a true story.
Not a trope. If only there was google.TIL real life is cinema
