The way he asked you about airplanes and how he thought that there are countries where you can't see the sun.. it made me very emotional, not because it's sad, but how you could speak in a language you both know and could explain him how it actually works. He must have felt so smart after that.
    These videos in Africa are beautiful! I do hope you guys will make more.

    To Thomas and the team, it's been a journey with Yes theory for 6years now, I always dreamed of this day when you'll visit one part of my country and show it to the world. The Baka or Pygmies mean a lot to Cameroon. Though I'm from the part of Cameroon colonized by England, i still feel very proud and honored by you visiting my country and telling our story to the world. This is what it means to live in a "democratic" dictatorship everyday. On behalf of all Cameroonians i feel honored. Hopefully the future will bring you hear again and we'll have a better story to tell. There's always hope in the Horizon. I love this family. Yes Theory forever ♾️.

    As a Cameroonian, I really appreciate when people travel to Cameroon and tell the stories without any biases/presumptions. I am happy for you, that you got to experience this part of Cameroon, as many of us never get this far outside of our comfort zones. But I also really empathise with what you had to go through at the end of this experience and I hope it does not discourage any other plans you guys had for travelling around this beautiful continent.
    A well is a very common source of drinking water. At my parent's house, we actually dug one and sent out to the community where people could get free drinking water. So I will be happy to contribute to a cause that can provide one for this community.
    The Yes Theory team continues to inspire me to think different and be more open and this video did just that. As I travel and make videos my self, I try to keep this in mind. Thank you for what you do - and please keep doing what you do. It reaches more people than you can imagine 😇

Yes, some organizations have a lot of overhead but 1 organization that has the less amount of overhead is World Vision. Even if you are not a Christian, I would highly recommend this organization. I have a young girl I sponsor, she now has clean water with a pump well, food, skills and a school, where she attends. I have helped her and her community, Zambia, Africa since she was 8 years old, she is now 18 and thriving! ☺️ I am so blessed to be able to help them.

      I'm taking a class on educational communication and in it we had to study the ethics of having people 'leave their tribe'. It focused on how any education can radically shift someone's perspective irreversibly from that which they were raised, even say a liberal arts education. I argued that it is unethical to withhold education but we can't control how someone may interpret things and what they choose to do with their new outlook. I feel that education tears down prejudices and stereotypes so that we can be more empathetic to those outside of our tribe because we are given the gift of critical thinking.

Our group even did a hunting/gathering trip into the jungle with them like you and were covered in ants and spiders like you were. So many memories. We also brought gifts of food, medicine and things like soccer balls. We didn't speak the same language though. We had a translator with us that spoke Indonesian and English. A few of their town elders spoke Indonesian. Their food, which was pulp from the Sago trees, was very difficult to get down.

      No, just leave them alone. They are fine without your pity.

      @@megamillionswinner6367 it’s not pity; It’s empathy. I know what it means to not have anything because I came from that. No need asking me to leave them. Easy for you to say.

    Whenever you go to a tribe or someones village you give them a gift, I love seeing that you brought them a gift for letting you stay there 😁 the hospitality of everyone was amazing and the vibes seemed very chill and nice. They even made a cool hut for you! This is amazing, proves that humanity still has kindness in its heart. Edit: I've been bit by fire ants and those aren't fun 😂 I was 8 when it happened and the knots on my foot were so bad I couldn't wear shoes or go to school for 3 days

    The people of that tribe had such beautiful souls. Their willingness to open their hearts to outsiders was truly touching.
    It's a real shame how it ended. I hope nothing bad came of the tribe from the secret service. They have to persevere through enough as it is.

They have an amazing life style e and they actually stay away from the technological advancements from the world and spending time with them you get to understand more thanks so much for choosing my country and this tribe for this experience

    The best thing about this channel is how it keeps reminding us that we all live on this planet together and the importance of embracing different cultures and mindsets. We have so much to learn from each other! I'm in Bali these days and there's not a day that goes by that I'm not amazed by humble kindness or forced to evaluate why we seek comfort, instead of adventure and personal growth. I'll be back in Norway in a couple of weeks to celebrate Christmas, but then I'll be off again on new adventures until my savings dry up. And then... who knows what life has in store. It'll work out. In any case I won't need to fear regretting not going for my dreams when I'm older. Yes Theory inspires everyone around them, whether that being in real life, or here on UA-cam. Thank you for bringing us along, exciting as always😍
