Jack Black recently travelled to Uganda to meet with underprivileged kids as part of the Red Nose Day campaign. The campaign aims to raise awareness and money for impoverished children and young adults. In the clip below, Jack meets with Felix, a 12-year-old homeless boy.
Jack Black promises his viewers that he’ll try his best to hold back tears and not cry, but this proves to be very difficult. While visiting an underprivileged community, Jack speaks about the good he sees in the locals, even though the town in tarnished by desperation and danger. “It’s no place for a kid to grow up,” he says, fighting back tears.
When he talks to Felix, he is immediately overcome with emotion as he listens to the homeless boy. Felix simply has one wish – he wants an education.
“He wants an education, and I think that’s not a lot to ask,” the actor says.
