Video Review.

 This video is a perfect example of sustainable development. This is because of how this community can carry on making bricks to build more houses, or eventually sell the bricks for an income. It is also what we need to be doing around the whole of South Africa. We need projects like this in South Africa because of how they can help eliminate poverty.  The way in which they make the bricks shows the people that things cannot just be giving to you; it also proves that after you have done the hard work you will get rewards. These houses that they build will help with health and safety, and possible keep the people of this community from resorting to crime as and income. After they have finished the bricks for their houses, they can then sell the bricks as a sustainable income, and use the money in order to support their families and communities. This initiative can then start a whole revolution over the country to distribute the brick machines and this in turn could end the housing difficulties this country has. It also shows people that if you want something done, you do not have to wait for the government to provide, you sometimes just have to do it yourself. The materials they use for the bricks can also be found all over the country, because they just use sand. I think this is a great initiative, and this should be happening all over the Country. Thumbs up to this project, it is truly an amazing initiative.
