You know all those crappy holiday gifts you get? The ones you toss to the back of your closet, or stow away in the deepest, darkest corner of your basement and forget about? Horrible holiday gifts don’t save lives. But War Child’s do. That’s why it had John St. develop this video as part of a campaign promoting Warchildgifts.com, a place where you can go and buy gifts that will make a world of difference to a family in a third world country.
