The Uncultured Project is a funny name given to a simple idea.
It's not a charity.
It's not a NGO.
It's not an attempt at becoming a YouTube celebrity.
It's just a project by someone who believes that if you want the world to be a better place - you have to do your part.
I got the idea while I was a grad student at Notre Dame. While there, I got to meet Dr. Jeffrey Sachs (author of the book "The End of Poverty"). Shortly after meeting him, I voluntarily withdrew from graduate school (in good standing), bought a camera, grabbed my computer, and flew to Bangladesh to see if I could make a difference.
I call it "The Uncultured Project" because there is no set plan, no formal training, and no goal other than wanting to make as much of a difference as possible.

Age: 27
I'm a Canadian -- from Toronto. I went to the University of Toronto before going to grad school at Notre Dame. I can afford to visit and stay in Bangladesh on a shoe-string budget because I have relatives who live here.
The low "videos watched" count is because the internet connection in Bangladesh is pretty bad. I have to find other ways to download the videos from all the channels I subscribe to (I normally use a program called Miro).
The best way to get in touch with me is by email:
Email: project@uncultured.com
I apologize in advance as I won't be able to reply to every email that I get.

New Here? Watch This. 10 Videos
What inspired me to start this project? Why come to Bangladesh? What have I done since I came here?
These videos should answer those questions. |

Deleted Scenes and Bonus Footage 4 Videos
Not all the footage I film makes it into an episode. I created a separate channel to share short clips that either were cut or didn't make it into an episode.

Cyclone Sidr 7 Videos
Cyclone Sidr was something I never expected when I first came here. The cyclone brought fierce winds and flooding which destroyed countless homes and killed over 4,000 people in this country. I saw this devastation first hand and tried my best to help.
These are videos that are specifically about Cyclone Sidr. |

GREAT JOB
I am from bangladesh but staying in dublin. I have seen the amount of work you have done appreciating....
but I really want to focus not only in donating rather make it some how interesting and knowledge-full. show --- the main cause of poverty in bangladesh is not because they dont work
It is actually the difference between rich and poor is too high but here in europe and America that is not so issue. The rich is stealling poors money and make them to suffer.
this summer I am comming to bangladesh and makaing a short film accross the country with around 30 episode.
one way is to destroy poverty is torrism... That might be a way to bring money to those people ....
any way I will donate soon......
Great job

I'm considering donating $20.
Or is that too low?
Please, my Friend, keep up with your making of this world to be a better place through your imaginative art!
