Just watched this great PSA from a new humanitarian group called Nuru International. The clip above follows the story of Jake Harriman, the group’s founder and CEO. The charity is endeavouring to put an end to extreme poverty in order to help stop conflicts and wars escalating in the world. Great video, and a worthy cause.
“Jake Harriman served over seven years as a platoon commander in both the Infantry and an elite unit of Marines called Force Recon. After completing two tours of duty in Iraq (receiving the Bronze Star for actions in combat) and fighting the war on terror all around the world, Jake came to the realization that the only chance we have of ending terrorism is to end extreme poverty. Jake left his career in the Marines to start an organization to end extreme poverty. He enrolled at Stanford’s Graduate School of Business, and with the help of his classmates, professors, and some Silicon Valley venture capitalists, Jake formed Nuru International. This is his story. Original score donated by Tyler Bates, composer of over fifty films including 300, The Watchmen, Halloween and Dawn of the Dead.”

Thanks so much for sharing what we are doing. It is blogs like these that are going to help to spread the word about Nuru and get more people involved with what we are doing.
Again, thank you so much
Stay in the fight
