As part of Comic Relief’s Red Nose Day, Jack Black traveled to Uganda to spend a day with a 12-year-old boy named Felix. Felix has been living on the streets for three years, selling empty plastic bottles to recycling stores as a means of survival. His mother has passed away, and he has never met his father.
Felix tells Black his greatest wish is to attend school. Black then explains to viewers some of the funds raised through Red Nose Day will go toward educational programs that offer classes to children living on the streets.
“It’s a community, and, you know, there’s goodness there,” Black says. “But there’s also desperation and danger… That’s no place for a kid to grow up.”
