We Adopted an Orphanage - Summary

Summary

The narrative describes the efforts of a group to prevent the closure of an orphanage in Africa. The orphanage, Bufuma Lele, was founded by Mama Rosie 30 years ago after a baby was abandoned on her doorstep. Despite the orphanage having saved more than 5,000 children's lives, it was on the brink of shutting down. The group decided to rebuild 12 new homes, provide a constant supply of fresh food, and build a new playground. They also ensured that Mama Rosie was surprised by the renovations.

The group also tracked down a young boy named Yam Kayla, who left the orphanage 14 years ago with the dream of becoming a musician. They surprised him with his old bedroom that had been completely rebuilt. The group also revealed the new homes to the children for the first time.

The group wanted to support Yam Kayla in his life outside the orphanage and offer him the opportunity to inspire orphans around the world. They surprised him with a top-of-the-range professional acoustic guitar and enrolled him in one of the best music schools in South Africa, covering all his living expenses for the entire year.

The group also thanked their long-term partner, Keybikes, for sponsoring the orphanage build. They encouraged viewers to purchase electric e-bikes from Keybikes to support the projects. The group also thanked Checker 6060 for sending motorbikes full of food to the orphanage and Yum Yum for committing to feed the orphanage for an additional year. Despite their efforts, they emphasized that the orphans still need more help and encouraged viewers to donate.
