goodmorning friends, today i wanna share e a story bout the first kid that got sponsored in Helpafrica and who inspired me to rescue now + 300 kids from the street and slums.
Yahaya Wanda i met him 15 years ago 9 years old on a dusty football field playing football with other street kids, i interviewed him as i wanted to find a sponsor family to him so he could come to school and get a new future. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkgHf5c6tVU
Hes story i got to know in detail before the movie, he had escaped from hes father who wanted to sacrifice him to the gods as 2 goats was stolen when he falled a sleep watching them, but hes younger brother cut him free from the chair in the night and he escaped on a truck to Kampala, where he collected leftovers in the scrab and lived on a taxi bench ! I found as sponsor and a local single mother who became hes foster mother. Today hes graduated psychologist and hes story is in our award winning movie I Am Much More !
Here hes telling hes story while still in highs school https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wj1QPvfENWk&t=6s
Now also with me in Marbella representing Rotary in Uganda officially , as he has joined the film festival and toured in Europe to inspire and tell hes story.
He met hes sponsor Bjørn-Erik Setså for the fist time in real, when he visited Norway two weeks ago !
Another example of being the hero in your own story , going from no one to some one !❤️👏
