All Steem/Steem Power from this post will be donated to the East Africa Food Crisis Appeal
A few nights ago I found myself at the Rewind VRLO exhibition at Central Saint Martins art college in London.
After spending some time looking at the different stories and games, I was drawn to Ayan's Journey. A story about children growing up in one of the hardest places to live on Earth; Somalia.
The piece is only 3 minutes long but is incredibly hard-hitting. You come face to face with stick-thin children in the middle of a desert strewn with animal carcasses.
Virtual Reality is already disrupting the travel market with Thomas Cook showing revenues on their New York holidays increased by 190% when implementing VR ... is charity the next big use case?
Thank you to everyone who helped vote on this! We raised over £700 which has been donated to Save The Children in Somalia!

heart melts if we see their situation. your cause is noble. hats off to you. i upvoted and resteemed it. video explains how bad the situation is.
i red recently that, " Somalia has untapped reserves of numerous natural resources, including uranium, iron ore, tin, gypsum, bauxite, copper, salt and natural gas. Due to its proximity to the oil-rich Gulf Arab states such as Saudi Arabia and Yemen, the nation is also believed to contain substantial unexploited reserves of oil." but who is going to take their fate seriously???

Eritrea would benefit from this too - but I wonder if there was a public square where people can experience VR in an entertainment setting approved by their government - it would make sure the person with the VR does not get shot. In Eritrea, there are more student protests, and they have a really complex coffee ceremony that might give VR more traction if you can integrate it. It might get people to think differently.

A out Somalia I agree. I spent in Sudan 5 years , was working for UN. Terrible conditions. People are suffering a lot. It changed my mind at that time. Now I try to be userful , and donation is one of the ways . Moreover according to ancient scriptures ( Veda) such activity purifies our existance, and we become eligible to get spiritual science

holy cow, that sure is one act of kindness! talking about your donations right here :)
with the VR you showed me something new on that topic. I would go there and check out the world myself. but the VR experience sure is crazy - especially with the voice in the background.
this inequality in our world is so sad. just had a blog post about that here in indonesia. since you're always the input for other people's output, I try to talk to people here and there. influence them in a positive way.
keep up the work and thank you!
all the best,

I feel this is one of the best uses I've seen for VR. I mean, putting someone in close proximity of others who suffer has to be heart wrenching and a persuasive way to really "walk in someone else's shoes". I think this is true for most social causes we don't understand or can't relate to. It is one thing to hear the story in the media, and a very different one to live it and see it with your own eyes. I really hope this use of VR really picks up and encourages donations, volunteering and contributions from all over the world. I'm really glad you posted this. Upvoted!

I don't agree with the payout. I don't agree that it's a good idea to donate to centralised charity organisations. Instead we should help individuals directly with eg. getting an apartment, livestock etc.
