[VIDEO]: Oliver Brain – From Billboard to Sleeping Bag

As travelers, we often travel the world without a second thought of where we’ll eat, stay or sleep. Unfortunately, not everyone has the luxury of choosing where or how they sleep each night. For some, a good night’s rest is anywhere with enough shelter to be covered from the elements of mother nature.

Cape Town Travel Massive member Oliver Brain is trying to change this. Oliver founded StreetSleeper.org, a social business that helps transform billboards into survival sleeping bags that double as daypacks for the homeless. In case you missed it, read our feature interview with Oliver here.

Check out this video on how our community member Oliver is inspiring change in South Africa by creating survival bags from upcycled billboards for people living on the streets in South Africa.
