British millionaire Jon Pedley sells everything to help the poor in Uganda. After waking up from a long coma after an accident, the millionaire reviewed his life. Pedley is selling his telecommunications company and his 1,5 mln - dollar mansion to raise money to support Ugandan orphans. He also plans to move to Uganda and live in a clay hovel. His charity organization aims at bringing at-risk teens from the U.K. to help care for children with AIDS.
