This Group Of Friends Spent An Entire Summer In A Guatemalan Village Living On Just $1 A Day: Their Lessons Will Inspire You
by Jeff Roberts
It’s a rare occasion to watch a film and have it move you in a profound way. This was the case for me after watching the hour long documentary “Living On One Dollar.” The concept was simple yet effective: A group of four economics students and friends set out on a journey to discover how to survive on just one dollar a day in a developing country. It was daring, hard-hitting and disturbingly revealing.
According to UNICEF, 22,000 children die each day due to poverty. And they “die quietly in some of the poorest villages on earth, far removed from the scrutiny and the conscience of the world.”[1] Globalissues.com states that 1.1 billion people live on less than $1 a day, a fact that became the catalyst for the four university students’ documentary.
Armed with only a video camera and a desire to understand, they spend just 56 dollars each for 56 days in rural Pena Blanca, Guatemala. They battle E.Coli, financial stress and the realization that there are no easy answers. Yet, the generosity and strength of their neighbors, Rosa, Anthony and Chino gives them resilient hope. They return home transformed and embark on a mission to share their new found understanding with other students, inspiring and challenging their generation to make a difference.
