For many people burps are gross, but not for kids. And not for World Vision Canada where a burp is the sound of a successful food delivery and one less child going hungry. More than 45 million people are experiencing food insecurity, just shy of starvation. In partnership with the UN World Food Programme, World Vision Canada has been making a palpable difference in its efforts to eradicate childhood hunger, feeding 2.8 million people every year. Due to its efforts, a growing number of kids now know the joy of letting loose a satisfied post-meal burp. That is the creative inspiration for “Burp,” a wholly different and more human awareness and fundraising effort for the global relief, development and advocacy organization, created by Toronto agency Broken Heart Love Affair (BHLA). “Burp” is an attempt to differentiate World Vision Canada from its counterparts during a busy time of year for charities. Instead of taking the sombre approach to hunger that we’ve all become so used to in charity advertising, “Burp” adopts a playful tone to show that when kids get the food they need, they can be kids again. The spot opens on two children sitting together on a bed and finishing a bowl of food, when one lets out a contented belch. A symphony of burping ensues with a series of shots of empty plates and children all letting out a burp—to the delight of their peers, and the chagrin of parents and teachers. The spot ends with the tagline, “Feed a child, feed a childhood.” All of the burps in “Burp” are real. The creative approach is based on the insight that kids can’t be kids when they’re hungry, and World Vision’s efforts are letting them recapture a small—but ultimately life-affirming—part of childhood.
