Great video, and there is a whole campaign behind:
“The truth is that there are many positive developments in African countries, and we want these to become known. We need to change the simplistic explanations of problems in Africa. We need to educate ourselves on the complex issues and get more focus on how western countries have a negative impact on Africa’s development. If we want to address the problems the world is facing we need to do it based on knowledge and respect.”
"The Radi-Aid campaign is based on these four demands:
Fundraising should not be based on exploiting stereotypes. Better information is needed about what is going on in the world, in schools, in TV and media.
Media: Show respect.
Aid must be based on real needs, not “good” intentions."
Great ideas reach further with a sense of humour.

By the way, the original song from1985 is here.
