WEBVTT 00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:09.000 So Beyonce, how did you get evolved with the World Humanitarian Day? 00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:13.000 Well, I was definitely attracted to raising awareness 00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:15.000 of this day of recognition. 00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:20.000 I know... found out that 22 people lost their lives helping people. And... 00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:21.000 In Baghdad. 00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:22.000 In Baghdad, yes. 00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:25.000 And you know, I thought it was an incredible thing 00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:28.000 to turn that into something positive 00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:32.000 and trying to include the world to do something great for someone else. 00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:39.000 I feel like we all want to know our life meant something 00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:41.000 And that we did something for someone else 00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:42.000 And that we spread positivity 00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:44.000 no matter how big or how small. 00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:51.000 Now you're trying to reach a billion people 00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:52.000 on World Humanitarian Day 00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:54.000 What are you hoping to accomplish? 00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:55.000 What is the idea behind it? 00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:58.000 This is really about, saying to everyone out there 00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:01.000 This is a day that's both a commemoration 00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:04.000 Because there's a lot of people 00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:06.000 who lose their lives trying to help people 00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:08.000 But it is also a celebration of the things that people do 00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:11.000 There's an amazing amount that people do 00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:15.000 every single day, that goes unrecognized. 00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:17.000 So this is about the big things 00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:19.000 and it is also about the small things. 00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:23.000 If we are to do something small 00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:26.000 and if all of us on one day, do something effective 00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:28.000 it will be so impactful. 00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:31.000 We can make a difference through a small act 00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:34.000 Some people will give some money 00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:36.000 Some people have a skill that they can donate 00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:38.000 Some time that they can donate 00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:40.000 All of that matters. 00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:49.000 What do you see 00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:51.000 when you are on that stadium in front of the General Assembly? 00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:55.000 Well, we wanted to make sure that we invited humanitarians 00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:59.000 and people that have been affected by humanitarians 00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:02.000 and I know that some of the people speaking 00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:05.000 are family members of the 22 people that lost their lives 00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:07.000 So while I'm performing 00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:10.000 you can't help but think about how they must feel 00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:12.000 and the pride that they must have 00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:15.000 knowing that they didn't lose their lives in vain. 00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:17.000 So on August 19th, you're both hoping that 00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:18.000 people around the world 00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:20.000 will do whatever they can 00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:21.000 and will volunteer in their communities 00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:25.000 will donate money, will donate time, wherever it is. 00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:28.000 We want to see millions of little pins 00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:30.000 across the world. 00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:31.000 As people pledge. 00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:35.000 Everyone can go to whdiwashere.org 00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:37.000 And we want to encourage everyone to pledge 00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:38.000 their act of kindness.
