He is such a mature, courageous young man and we would like to be able to help him and his siblings directly. They deserve a break and noone should have to go without food. Please let me know how we can help him - donation, food, clothing, books anything. We would also love to be able to write to him. Thank you.

What a fine young man to tackle the responsibility that he has assumed. I may not have a lot to give but it sounds like I'm not alone in wanting to help him. I'd love to be able to help him and his siblings break free from this cycle of poverty and education is the key.

I watched the show and was left with a deep desire to help him and his siblings with shelter, food and education. Please give us viewers direction of how to help him directly. He has touched our hearts and left me speechless and I want to share my blessings with him. It's clear that others want to help him as well....wouldn't it be wonderful if we can help him have a better life. Please advise. Thanks I too am interested in helping Joab and his siblings.

Please let me know how I can help him directly. He is doing the hardest thing of all--the right thing. He's staying with his siblings, believing in himself and their future and keeping them going as a family. His efforts cannot go on unassisted. This is a young man of such good character. Please, let me know how I and my family can help him and his family. Thank you for such a superb documentary.

I too would like to know how Joab is doing, and if there is a way I can help. A way where the help would actually get to he and his brothers. (Although I know his father struggles too, it was disheartening and heartbreaking to see him take the food away from his children.)
