"Africa For Norway - New charity single out now!"

There is also a wider NPR article about charity videos that is super great.
"Many cliched images — like the common ones of Africa, showing children with flies buzzing in their eyes and helpless women balancing bundles on their heads — were created with good intentions, says SAIH Vice President Martine Jahre.

And they've had some positive effects. She notes that studies have shown people will give more when faced with a caricature of a charity case rather than a human being. "We feel good when it's us and them, and we can help them," she says.

But there's a danger in trying to raise money at the expense of someone's dignity, Jahre adds, "and if we see these images over and over again, our expectation becomes that."
