3
00:00:26,151 --> 00:00:29,154
Ready? Hold on a bit.

4
00:00:29,237 --> 00:00:30,655
Let us try it once again.

5
00:00:30,739 --> 00:00:32,157
Are we together?

6
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,951
Tell yourself that you can do it!

7
00:00:36,161 --> 00:00:37,370
Say, "I am able!"

8
00:00:40,373 --> 00:00:45,587
Come on! Last one is a rotten egg!

9
00:00:54,971 --> 00:00:56,556
Show them.

10
00:00:57,057 --> 00:00:57,932
Let's go!

11
00:01:01,895 --> 00:01:03,480
Get low!

12
00:01:03,563 --> 00:01:08,651
Music, it makes you forget
all your stresses and problems.

13
00:01:13,490 --> 00:01:14,991
Masaka kids

14
00:01:15,075 --> 00:01:19,162
have been able
to inspire and change their village

15
00:01:19,245 --> 00:01:20,789
through music.

16
00:01:24,793 --> 00:01:27,170
But when you get to hear their stories,

17
00:01:27,253 --> 00:01:30,465
you'll understand these are kids
for whom the world had no hope.

18
00:01:32,133 --> 00:01:34,469
<i>We are the stars of Africa!</i>

19
00:01:34,552 --> 00:01:36,096
- We are!
- We are!

20
00:01:38,681 --> 00:01:40,558
<i>Early in the morning</i>

21
00:01:40,642 --> 00:01:42,560
<i>We are the stars</i>

22
00:01:42,644 --> 00:01:44,604
<i>We shake the world</i>

23
00:01:44,687 --> 00:01:46,606
<i>In the name of Lord</i>

24
00:01:46,689 --> 00:01:49,692
<i>We are the stars of Africa</i>

25
00:02:11,965 --> 00:02:14,634
We dance!

26
00:02:14,717 --> 00:02:17,971
- We dance this one.
- We start now!

27
00:02:18,471 --> 00:02:19,889
One, two, three!

28
00:02:20,723 --> 00:02:22,183
- Dah!
- Dah!

29
00:02:22,267 --> 00:02:23,434
Dah!

30
00:02:23,518 --> 00:02:24,602
No…

31
00:02:24,686 --> 00:02:26,020
And we dance!

32
00:02:29,816 --> 00:02:32,402
The reason we started Masaka Kids Africana

33
00:02:32,485 --> 00:02:35,572
is to change the lives of kids
in the ghetto

34
00:02:35,655 --> 00:02:37,115
and ones on the street.

35
00:02:38,283 --> 00:02:42,745
Those in a situation
where they need our help.

36
00:02:42,829 --> 00:02:43,872
<i>Eh-eh!</i>

37
00:02:44,706 --> 00:02:45,707
<i>Eh-eh!</i>

38
00:02:46,708 --> 00:02:47,750
<i>Eh-eh!</i>

39
00:02:47,834 --> 00:02:49,294
We call ourselves ambassadors

40
00:02:49,377 --> 00:02:51,880
for the children in the ghetto
and on the street.

41
00:02:52,505 --> 00:02:54,215
We do this through dancing.

42
00:02:54,799 --> 00:02:56,801
We do this through singing.

43
00:02:57,677 --> 00:02:59,762
We do this through music.

44
00:02:59,846 --> 00:03:01,097
- <i>Eh!</i>
<i>- Ime!</i>

45
00:03:01,181 --> 00:03:03,057
- <i>Ime, eh-eh!</i>
<i>- Eh!</i>

46
00:03:03,141 --> 00:03:05,518
<i>- Eh-eh!</i>
<i>- Eh!</i>

47
00:03:05,602 --> 00:03:07,020
<i>- Eh-eh!</i>
<i>- Eh!</i>

48
00:03:07,103 --> 00:03:08,396
<i>Eh, eh-eh!</i>

49
00:03:26,456 --> 00:03:27,457
<i>Eh-eh!</i>

50
00:03:28,625 --> 00:03:29,459
<i>Eh-eh!</i>

51
00:03:30,210 --> 00:03:32,128
<i>I'm in the moods!</i>

52
00:03:32,629 --> 00:03:34,005
<i>Dancing moods!</i>

53
00:03:34,672 --> 00:03:35,924
<i>I'm in the moods!</i>

54
00:03:36,841 --> 00:03:38,676
<i>Start dancing As you're dancing</i>

55
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,095
<i>Go down, I'm having fun</i>
I<i>'m in the moods!</i>

56
00:03:41,638 --> 00:03:43,306
<i>- Doo-doo-doo</i>
<i>- Eh-eh!</i>

57
00:03:43,932 --> 00:03:45,642
<i>- Doo-doo-doo</i>
<i>- Eh-eh!</i>

58
00:03:45,725 --> 00:03:47,393
<i>Hey, let's dance!</i>

59
00:03:47,477 --> 00:03:49,562
<i>Hey, let's dance!</i>

60
00:03:49,646 --> 00:03:52,148
<i>Let's have a lot of fun</i>
<i>Hey, let's dance!</i>

61
00:03:52,232 --> 00:03:54,817
<i>Hey, let's dance!</i>

62
00:03:54,901 --> 00:03:58,404
What gives us joy
is to see these children's lives changing.

63
00:04:11,626 --> 00:04:15,255
The Masaka region has the highest rate

64
00:04:15,338 --> 00:04:17,757
of HIV transmission in Uganda.

65
00:04:21,469 --> 00:04:27,433
It is estimated
that one half of kids under the age of 15

66
00:04:27,517 --> 00:04:31,312
have lost one or both their parents.

67
00:04:34,899 --> 00:04:36,901
Many children die on the streets.

68
00:04:39,779 --> 00:04:44,534
Very many children are abused.
Children that we don't see or even know.

69
00:04:52,792 --> 00:04:55,420
I've been on the streets before.

70
00:04:57,463 --> 00:04:59,007
I know what is there.

71
00:05:00,758 --> 00:05:02,677
My mother died when I was young.

72
00:05:03,886 --> 00:05:07,015
The scar I have on my face,

73
00:05:07,974 --> 00:05:11,644
on the side of my head,

74
00:05:11,728 --> 00:05:13,146
is from my stepmother.

75
00:05:16,607 --> 00:05:21,112
I decided to leave
rather than die at home.

76
00:05:27,493 --> 00:05:29,704
Life on the street was not easy.

77
00:05:32,123 --> 00:05:37,628
During the day, we would collect scrap
to sell to buy food.

78
00:05:39,380 --> 00:05:41,591
Everyone who collected scrap in Katwe

79
00:05:42,133 --> 00:05:44,344
was considered a thief
and would get beaten.

80
00:05:48,473 --> 00:05:51,893
I started getting tortured
by the situation.

81
00:05:54,896 --> 00:05:57,398
But whenever I would think
about ending my life…

82
00:05:59,567 --> 00:06:02,904
I would see my mother
asking me why I wanted to kill myself.

83
00:06:09,827 --> 00:06:13,039
However, I had a song I sang to myself.

84
00:06:14,374 --> 00:06:18,795
<i>I am in distress</i>
<i>I feel the waves, I am suffering</i>

85
00:06:20,338 --> 00:06:22,590
<i>My mother has left me</i>

86
00:06:24,467 --> 00:06:28,638
The song strengthened my heart,
and I felt that this would come to an end.

87
00:06:33,184 --> 00:06:35,770
I sold clothes for a while.

88
00:06:36,479 --> 00:06:40,233
From the capital generated from that,
I established a barber shop.

89
00:06:45,363 --> 00:06:48,533
But I was concerned about some children
who I used to see in the village.

90
00:06:50,326 --> 00:06:53,704
That passion compelled me

91
00:06:53,788 --> 00:06:58,584
to do something
to help children in bad situations.

92
00:06:59,085 --> 00:07:01,212
We want one person over here.

93
00:07:01,295 --> 00:07:04,048
- Make a line over here.
- Make a line over here.

94
00:07:04,132 --> 00:07:06,300
- One, two, three…
- Ah-ah!

95
00:07:10,596 --> 00:07:13,516
- One…
- One, two, three, enter.

96
00:07:19,605 --> 00:07:21,524
One, two, three, enter.

97
00:07:22,024 --> 00:07:25,403
Me and Suuna met in 2011.

98
00:07:26,946 --> 00:07:28,114
Come here. Come.

99
00:07:29,532 --> 00:07:30,450
Okay, here.

100
00:07:32,452 --> 00:07:35,663
You know, my daughter
loves me more than Madinah.

101
00:07:37,123 --> 00:07:38,749
So this annoys Madinah.

102
00:07:44,505 --> 00:07:51,262
When we met, we were out hanging out…

103
00:07:51,345 --> 00:07:56,267
in those lively venues,
I used to love music.

104
00:07:58,519 --> 00:08:02,815
There were two things I loved, being a DJ

105
00:08:03,399 --> 00:08:05,109
and taking care of kids.

106
00:08:09,405 --> 00:08:14,076
He had love for kids, which I also had,
and that made us get along really well.

107
00:08:16,871 --> 00:08:18,915
That's when I still had swagger.

108
00:08:20,082 --> 00:08:23,711
I was so full of swag life, in a way,
but I was so broke.

109
00:08:27,173 --> 00:08:29,008
Suuna was from the street,

110
00:08:30,259 --> 00:08:32,470
and my parents didn't want me
to be with him.

111
00:08:34,222 --> 00:08:38,559
They were like, "A person
from the streets is ill-mannered."

112
00:08:39,143 --> 00:08:40,770
"They are not good people."

113
00:08:42,104 --> 00:08:46,275
I stood up to my parents
and told them he's the person I love.

114
00:08:47,860 --> 00:08:50,363
She started looking after the kids

115
00:08:50,446 --> 00:08:56,536
because she loves what we do,
and she loves the children.

116
00:08:58,538 --> 00:09:03,084
I create a loving environment
amongst them.

117
00:09:05,044 --> 00:09:07,129
That's what makes them family.

118
00:09:16,931 --> 00:09:19,934
After a while,
the organization had started growing.

119
00:09:20,601 --> 00:09:23,396
So I sat down and thought,
"I have children,

120
00:09:25,022 --> 00:09:30,319
but what can I do to provide for them?"

121
00:09:45,251 --> 00:09:47,628
I was on my computer.

122
00:09:48,462 --> 00:09:52,049
I saw the <i>America's Got Talent</i>
search show.

123
00:09:53,426 --> 00:09:55,678
I told one of the children
we could do the same.

124
00:10:00,016 --> 00:10:03,394
In those days,
the singer Eddy Kenzo was big.

125
00:10:03,477 --> 00:10:05,438
He was very popular in Uganda.

126
00:10:14,947 --> 00:10:17,617
We made a video
to the song "Zigido" by Kenzo.

127
00:10:18,576 --> 00:10:20,286
<i>Kizunguzungu</i>

128
00:10:20,369 --> 00:10:22,163
<i>Kizunguzungu</i>

129
00:10:22,246 --> 00:10:23,331
<i>Turn it up!</i>

130
00:10:23,414 --> 00:10:25,291
<i>- Living a life</i>
<i>- Turn it up!</i>

131
00:10:25,374 --> 00:10:28,002
<i>- We de living a life</i>
<i>- Bless touch!</i>

132
00:10:28,085 --> 00:10:29,879
<i>- Oh, na-na</i>
<i>- God is everything</i>

133
00:10:29,962 --> 00:10:31,631
<i>Oh, na-na-na, na-na-na</i>

134
00:10:31,714 --> 00:10:34,508
<i>- Kenzo, man</i>
<i>- Oh, na-na</i>

135
00:10:34,592 --> 00:10:35,551
<i>Oh, na-na-na…</i>

136
00:10:35,635 --> 00:10:38,804
It went viral
without us even knowing about it.

137
00:10:39,805 --> 00:10:42,099
It started airing
on Masaka media platforms.

138
00:10:42,183 --> 00:10:43,726
It caught people's attention.

139
00:10:46,145 --> 00:10:50,441
And we had started getting
a connection with Kenzo.

140
00:10:51,108 --> 00:10:53,361
Kenzo had organized
a huge concert in Masaka.

141
00:10:53,444 --> 00:10:55,613
<i>Sugar, de Simple yeah, simple yeah</i>

142
00:10:55,696 --> 00:10:56,614
<i>Turn it up</i>

143
00:10:57,114 --> 00:10:58,699
<i>Turn it up, turn it up</i>

144
00:11:02,953 --> 00:11:04,705
We performed with him.

145
00:11:09,752 --> 00:11:12,296
Are you there? Are you there?

146
00:11:12,797 --> 00:11:14,423
You want more?

147
00:11:14,507 --> 00:11:15,716
Kenzo, all together!

148
00:11:16,717 --> 00:11:19,470
All together! All together!

149
00:11:20,471 --> 00:11:22,556
The kids from Nyendo are smart.

150
00:11:24,225 --> 00:11:25,351
Do you know this one?

151
00:11:26,644 --> 00:11:27,520
You see…

152
00:11:28,020 --> 00:11:31,023
It was a big win for us.

153
00:11:34,527 --> 00:11:40,032
Wherever we went around the village,
everyone said, "There's the Kenzo kids."

154
00:11:40,866 --> 00:11:43,369
B, C, D, E, F, G

155
00:11:43,452 --> 00:11:48,249
H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q…

156
00:11:48,332 --> 00:11:50,710
It started to change the lives of the kids

157
00:11:50,793 --> 00:11:52,795
that were labeled thugs off the streets.

158
00:11:53,838 --> 00:11:56,215
They started respecting us once again.

159
00:12:05,099 --> 00:12:08,018
Quiet now.
So we're gonna start with the left leg.

160
00:12:08,602 --> 00:12:11,731
It's gonna be in front,
and then the right one behind.

161
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:13,858
And then the hands here.

162
00:12:14,608 --> 00:12:16,402
And then, boom.

163
00:12:17,570 --> 00:12:20,531
I think I was around eight or nine.

164
00:12:20,614 --> 00:12:24,160
By the time I reached this place,
I joined the Masaka Kids Africana.

165
00:12:24,243 --> 00:12:26,996
One, two, three, let's go.

166
00:12:27,079 --> 00:12:29,498
Boom-boom, boom-boom-boom.

167
00:12:30,875 --> 00:12:32,084
Okay? Let's go.

168
00:12:32,168 --> 00:12:33,669
My parents…

169
00:12:33,753 --> 00:12:34,670
Hands are up.

170
00:12:34,754 --> 00:12:37,798
…they passed on because of HIV.

171
00:12:43,053 --> 00:12:44,305
Good. Then?

172
00:12:45,264 --> 00:12:46,098
Up.

173
00:12:46,182 --> 00:12:47,141
- Mm?
- Yeah.

174
00:12:47,224 --> 00:12:52,730
When I was living at the street,
I could see children with their parents

175
00:12:53,230 --> 00:12:55,983
laughing, playing around,

176
00:12:56,066 --> 00:12:58,569
and I was like,
"I couldn't have that opportunity."

177
00:12:58,652 --> 00:13:00,696
- One, two, three.
- Then?

178
00:13:00,780 --> 00:13:01,989
- And boom.
- Then?

179
00:13:02,072 --> 00:13:03,908
Boom-boom-boom, boom.

180
00:13:03,991 --> 00:13:05,493
Boom-boom-boom, boom.

181
00:13:05,576 --> 00:13:06,619
- Sound.
- Boom.

182
00:13:06,702 --> 00:13:08,287
Let's put the sound.

183
00:13:08,370 --> 00:13:11,749
<i>Mr. Masaka, I'm in the moods</i>

184
00:13:11,832 --> 00:13:14,335
<i>Dancing the moods, I'm in the…</i>

185
00:13:14,418 --> 00:13:17,421
These kids,
they're like my brothers and sisters.

186
00:13:18,214 --> 00:13:19,381
<i>I'm in the moods…</i>

187
00:13:19,465 --> 00:13:22,384
Me teaching them dance moves,

188
00:13:22,468 --> 00:13:23,552
it makes me happy,

189
00:13:23,636 --> 00:13:26,305
and I said that,
"At least I have helped someone,

190
00:13:26,388 --> 00:13:28,390
or I have made someone also happy."

191
00:13:28,474 --> 00:13:30,226
<i>Dancing the moods…</i>

192
00:13:31,101 --> 00:13:34,688
That groove that comes out of your body
when you're dancing

193
00:13:34,772 --> 00:13:37,525
makes you forget
all the pain that you have.

194
00:13:37,608 --> 00:13:39,652
<i>Ba-da-da-da</i>

195
00:13:40,319 --> 00:13:42,154
<i>Da-da-da-da</i>

196
00:13:42,238 --> 00:13:43,906
<i>Da-da-da-da</i>

197
00:14:17,398 --> 00:14:19,358
<i>I'm in the moods</i>

198
00:14:19,441 --> 00:14:21,402
<i>Dancing the moods</i>

199
00:14:21,485 --> 00:14:23,529
<i>I'm in the moods</i>

200
00:14:23,612 --> 00:14:25,614
<i>Dancing the moods</i>

201
00:14:25,698 --> 00:14:27,741
<i>I'm in the moods</i>

202
00:14:27,825 --> 00:14:29,702
<i>Dancing the moods</i>

203
00:14:47,428 --> 00:14:50,139
Rashida, which kind of man would you want?

204
00:14:50,222 --> 00:14:53,559
Where would you want to find yours,
in a club like me, or…

205
00:14:58,606 --> 00:15:01,942
Me, I want someone who's my friend.

206
00:15:03,235 --> 00:15:05,529
Which kind of man would you want, Nabirah?

207
00:15:06,030 --> 00:15:08,198
Me? I don't know.

208
00:15:08,949 --> 00:15:11,076
- I want to study…
- Mm-hmm.

209
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:12,620
- …get a job.
- Mm-hmm.

210
00:15:12,703 --> 00:15:15,497
So that by the time I get married,
I have my own stuff.

211
00:15:17,875 --> 00:15:20,920
I survived the challenging situations

212
00:15:21,003 --> 00:15:23,589
girls usually go through in the village

213
00:15:23,672 --> 00:15:25,925
because I ended up here.

214
00:15:33,140 --> 00:15:37,519
The majority of the people who are
contracting AIDS in Uganda are children.

215
00:15:40,940 --> 00:15:44,401
Men find them on the street
or in vulnerable circumstances

216
00:15:44,485 --> 00:15:49,073
and lure them
with some money in exchange for sex.

217
00:15:51,617 --> 00:15:57,498
A girl is left with a pregnancy,
perhaps not even understanding how.

218
00:15:58,290 --> 00:16:03,504
In the process,
they end up getting the disease.

219
00:16:07,841 --> 00:16:12,972
I have some girls that have grown older.

220
00:16:13,472 --> 00:16:17,309
As a mother, I have to prepare them

221
00:16:18,894 --> 00:16:23,148
so that they understand
how to stay safe as young ladies.

222
00:16:23,649 --> 00:16:27,653
I am given guidance and counseling
that helps in life.

223
00:16:27,736 --> 00:16:33,826
Other girls that don't have parents
or their parents don't care about them,

224
00:16:35,494 --> 00:16:37,454
they don't have that opportunity.

225
00:16:53,846 --> 00:16:55,764
Can you make a rooster sound?

226
00:16:55,848 --> 00:16:57,433
Wa-la-la-la.

227
00:16:57,516 --> 00:16:59,518
Woo-loo-loo-loo!

228
00:17:02,479 --> 00:17:04,481
Ooh-ooh-ooh!

229
00:17:04,565 --> 00:17:07,192
Meh!

230
00:17:07,276 --> 00:17:10,112
I was offered a job at a school.

231
00:17:13,407 --> 00:17:16,160
I was teaching dance.

232
00:17:17,327 --> 00:17:18,704
- Ready?
- Yes.

233
00:17:23,292 --> 00:17:25,377
I started getting some money.

234
00:17:26,795 --> 00:17:31,425
I didn't get a chance to go to school.
I wanted to be sure the children would go.

235
00:17:33,343 --> 00:17:38,140
I would ask for scholarships or bursaries,

236
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:42,603
so I would hustle that way
and see to it that the children study.

237
00:17:50,986 --> 00:17:54,031
See you, Mama!

238
00:17:54,615 --> 00:17:56,033
- Bye, Papa!
- Bye!

239
00:17:56,116 --> 00:17:57,868
- Bye, Papa!
- Bye!

240
00:17:58,619 --> 00:18:01,914
Run! Mohamad, run!

241
00:18:01,997 --> 00:18:02,915
Hurry, Mohamad!

242
00:18:04,583 --> 00:18:08,170
<i>Let's go to school so we never retire</i>

243
00:18:08,253 --> 00:18:10,005
<i>I will never look my back</i>

244
00:18:10,089 --> 00:18:12,091
<i>Pick up your shoes, pull up your socks</i>

245
00:18:12,174 --> 00:18:13,175
<i>And go</i>

246
00:18:13,675 --> 00:18:17,638
<i>Let's go to school so we never retire</i>

247
00:18:17,721 --> 00:18:19,431
<i>I will never look my back</i>

248
00:18:19,515 --> 00:18:21,433
<i>Pick up your shoes, pull up your socks</i>

249
00:18:21,517 --> 00:18:22,726
<i>And go</i>

250
00:18:23,727 --> 00:18:26,230
<i>I wanna be a doctor when I grow up</i>

251
00:18:27,189 --> 00:18:30,109
<i>Treat all my friends</i>
<i>And the people at home</i>

252
00:18:30,609 --> 00:18:32,486
<i>Teach them to love</i>

253
00:18:32,986 --> 00:18:35,322
<i>- My mother</i>
<i>- My mother</i>

254
00:18:35,405 --> 00:18:37,658
<i>- And my father</i>
<i>- And my father</i>

255
00:18:37,741 --> 00:18:39,118
<i>My country</i>

256
00:18:42,162 --> 00:18:45,791
<i>Let's go to school so we never retire</i>

257
00:18:45,874 --> 00:18:47,751
<i>I will never look my back</i>

258
00:18:47,835 --> 00:18:49,837
<i>Pick up your shoes, pull up your socks</i>

259
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:51,255
<i>And go</i>

260
00:18:51,338 --> 00:18:55,801
<i>Let's go to school so we never retire</i>
<i>I will never look my…</i>

261
00:18:55,884 --> 00:18:58,178
At first, when they took me to school,

262
00:18:58,762 --> 00:19:00,305
I couldn't believe it.

263
00:19:00,389 --> 00:19:03,183
I was like, "No, this is not me."

264
00:19:03,267 --> 00:19:06,311
'Cause I could sit with children

265
00:19:07,563 --> 00:19:09,398
who have parents that are rich.

266
00:19:09,481 --> 00:19:11,775
I couldn't even think about…

267
00:19:12,317 --> 00:19:14,528
I am studying
the same thing they are learning.

268
00:19:14,611 --> 00:19:17,698
{\an8}Between the north and east is… Uh-huh?

269
00:19:17,781 --> 00:19:20,659
- Ninety degrees.
- Ninety degrees. Very good.

270
00:19:20,742 --> 00:19:22,202
Number of number plates.

271
00:19:22,286 --> 00:19:24,163
Last number plate plus…

272
00:19:24,246 --> 00:19:28,041
minus first number plate, brackets plus…

273
00:19:28,125 --> 00:19:29,418
Number of units.

274
00:19:29,501 --> 00:19:33,797
Number of units
equals last unit minus first unit.

275
00:19:33,881 --> 00:19:35,883
Hey, hey!

276
00:19:49,605 --> 00:19:52,399
I found him living with his grandmother,

277
00:19:52,482 --> 00:19:54,401
but he had dropped out of school.

278
00:19:54,985 --> 00:19:58,197
His grandmother told me
that she couldn't feed the kids.

279
00:19:58,280 --> 00:19:59,948
Ian was in the village

280
00:20:01,033 --> 00:20:03,952
stealing people's sugarcane
and jackfruits.

281
00:20:05,996 --> 00:20:07,289
People would shout

282
00:20:07,372 --> 00:20:12,669
that the old woman's son
is stealing their sugarcane and jackfruit.

283
00:20:13,170 --> 00:20:16,381
I would do whatever I wanted
from the time I woke up.

284
00:20:16,465 --> 00:20:22,971
But then one day, I heard loud music
and followed where it was coming from.

285
00:20:23,555 --> 00:20:26,350
We have a program called "dance community"

286
00:20:26,433 --> 00:20:28,685
because we realized that music

287
00:20:28,769 --> 00:20:33,357
could become the key
to all that wasn't working out.

288
00:20:39,696 --> 00:20:42,908
We set up a speaker and dance with people.

289
00:20:46,954 --> 00:20:50,374
Music can pull any child closer to you.

290
00:20:53,835 --> 00:20:57,172
We are trying
to gather the kids who are orphans.

291
00:20:58,924 --> 00:21:00,634
or those who need help.

292
00:21:22,698 --> 00:21:25,075
- I've calculated seven.
- Yes.

293
00:21:25,158 --> 00:21:26,785
- Is it seven?
- Yes.

294
00:21:26,868 --> 00:21:28,578
They've asked you to expand.

295
00:21:29,246 --> 00:21:30,580
- Like this?
- Yes.

296
00:21:31,581 --> 00:21:34,167
They told me when I was bringing him here,

297
00:21:34,251 --> 00:21:35,752
I got a challenge.

298
00:21:39,131 --> 00:21:41,383
They told me that I shouldn't take him

299
00:21:41,466 --> 00:21:43,468
because he's not good around other kids.

300
00:21:52,936 --> 00:21:54,563
The world had given up on him.

301
00:21:55,272 --> 00:21:58,525
They just need to be guided.

302
00:22:11,830 --> 00:22:13,457
Good morning, class.

303
00:22:13,540 --> 00:22:16,877
Good morning, Teacher Nabirah.

304
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:17,961
Sit down.

305
00:22:18,045 --> 00:22:20,547
Thank you, Teacher Nabirah.

306
00:22:20,630 --> 00:22:23,800
Today, we are going
to study about coronavirus.

307
00:22:23,884 --> 00:22:27,929
Coronavirus is a current disease
that kills at a high pace,

308
00:22:28,013 --> 00:22:30,515
especially through blood connection.

309
00:22:30,599 --> 00:22:31,558
Clap for her.

310
00:22:32,726 --> 00:22:34,478
During COVID,

311
00:22:34,561 --> 00:22:37,981
most people were in grief,

312
00:22:38,065 --> 00:22:41,026
and they had pain
because of their loved ones.

313
00:22:41,526 --> 00:22:43,820
They had pain because of their jobs.

314
00:22:44,488 --> 00:22:45,781
They had pain

315
00:22:45,864 --> 00:22:48,825
because of the disease
that had taken over the whole world.

316
00:22:49,618 --> 00:22:55,040
We saw ourselves as people
who can make others forget their grief.

317
00:22:55,540 --> 00:22:59,920
We thought of something that can
take away the sadness of our people.

318
00:23:04,883 --> 00:23:08,011
We gave them the love we had.

319
00:23:09,304 --> 00:23:11,306
What we had to give to the people,

320
00:23:11,807 --> 00:23:12,974
it was dance.

321
00:23:13,725 --> 00:23:16,269
<i>Leather gloves, no sequins</i>

322
00:23:16,353 --> 00:23:18,730
<i>Buckles on the jacket, it's Alyx shit</i>

323
00:23:19,272 --> 00:23:21,775
<i>Nike crossbody, got a piece in it</i>

324
00:23:21,858 --> 00:23:24,694
<i>Got a dance</i>
<i>But it's really on some street shit</i>

325
00:23:24,778 --> 00:23:25,987
<i>I'ma show you how to get it</i>

326
00:23:26,071 --> 00:23:29,449
<i>It go right foot up, left foot slide</i>

327
00:23:29,533 --> 00:23:32,494
<i>Left foot up, right foot slide…</i>

328
00:23:32,577 --> 00:23:34,996
{\an8}<i>This is a group of children in Uganda,</i>

329
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:38,208
{\an8}<i>and they're doing their rendition</i>
<i>of a new Internet dance challenge.</i>

330
00:23:38,291 --> 00:23:40,544
{\an8}<i>It's set to Drake's new song,</i>
<i>"Toosie Slide."</i>

331
00:23:40,627 --> 00:23:41,753
{\an8}<i>Look at that cutie patootie.</i>

332
00:23:41,837 --> 00:23:44,464
<i>Drake himself was so taken</i>
<i>by the kids' performance,</i>

333
00:23:44,548 --> 00:23:48,093
<i>he posted it to his Instagram</i>
<i>and his millions of followers.</i>

334
00:23:48,176 --> 00:23:53,765
The comments
people were leaving would be like…

335
00:23:53,849 --> 00:23:55,684
"This kid is amazing."

336
00:23:56,476 --> 00:23:59,312
"These kids have touched my heart."

337
00:23:59,396 --> 00:24:01,440
<i>Every day with it</i>
<i>I'ma show you how to get it</i>

338
00:24:01,523 --> 00:24:03,066
<i>It go right foot up…</i>

339
00:24:03,150 --> 00:24:07,654
From there, I won't lie to you,
our lives changed.

340
00:24:07,737 --> 00:24:10,323
<i>Basically I'm sayin'</i>
<i>Either way, we 'bout to slide</i>

341
00:24:10,407 --> 00:24:13,160

They tell you
you're going to take an airplane.

346
00:24:57,829 --> 00:24:59,831
We asked ourselves, "Is it possible?"

347
00:24:59,915 --> 00:25:02,000
<i>Habibi, habibi</i>

348
00:25:02,083 --> 00:25:04,294

and there we got
a new life that we had never experienced.

351
00:25:09,674 --> 00:25:11,801
<i>Enjoy</i>

352
00:25:12,302 --> 00:25:16,473
{\an8}<i>I said</i>
<i>Come here, come here, come here…</i>

353
00:25:16,556 --> 00:25:19,434
{\an8}All the way from Uganda,
welcome to <i>Sabah Al Khair Ya Arab.</i>

354
00:25:19,518 --> 00:25:21,686
{\an8}We're very happy to have you guys here
with us.

355
00:25:23,855 --> 00:25:27,234
My first time that I took a plane,

356
00:25:27,734 --> 00:25:30,237
you feel like your soul
is going out of your body.

357
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:32,113
Like, when it's going up…

358
00:25:32,864 --> 00:25:35,659
Ah! I was like, "No! My soul is going!"

359
00:25:35,742 --> 00:25:37,035
{\an8}<i>We meet again…</i>

360
00:25:41,373 --> 00:25:43,708
Masaka Kids Africana
that are here in Barcelona.

361
00:25:43,792 --> 00:25:48,004
{\an8}<i>Habibi, habibi, welcome to my city</i>

362
00:25:48,088 --> 00:25:50,257
<i>Habibi, habibi</i>

363
00:25:50,340 --> 00:25:52,425
<i>Welcome to my city</i>

364
00:25:52,509 --> 00:25:55,262
<i>Habibi, habibi, enjoy my city…</i>

365
00:25:55,345 --> 00:25:57,222
Barcelona.

366
00:25:57,305 --> 00:25:59,307
{\an8}Uh, that's one in a million.

367
00:25:59,391 --> 00:26:00,934
{\an8}<i>Welcome to my city</i>

368
00:26:01,017 --> 00:26:03,019
{\an8}<i>Habibi, habibi…</i>

369
00:26:03,103 --> 00:26:05,814
When I was on the stage in Turkey,

370
00:26:05,897 --> 00:26:12,195
it felt so good
that all the fans were excited for me.

371
00:26:12,279 --> 00:26:13,989
<i>I said</i>

372
00:26:14,072 --> 00:26:16,491
<i>Come here, come here, come here…</i>

373
00:26:16,575 --> 00:26:21,621
I did not believe
at that moment it was me, Nabirah, there.

374
00:26:23,873 --> 00:26:25,625
{\an8}It's difficult to believe

375
00:26:25,709 --> 00:26:28,670
{\an8}that the kids the world is seeing
flying in airplanes,

376
00:26:28,753 --> 00:26:30,672
{\an8}performing on national TVs,

377
00:26:30,755 --> 00:26:34,926
these are the same kids that were living
on the streets some years back.

378
00:26:57,115 --> 00:27:00,076
We are so proud because right now,

379
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:04,289
the land that we are standing on
belongs to Masaka Kids Africana.

380
00:27:09,669 --> 00:27:11,546
This is our dining room.

381
00:27:13,340 --> 00:27:14,841
This is the kitchen.

382
00:27:14,924 --> 00:27:18,511
This is the boys' bedroom.
That is where the boys sleep.

383
00:27:21,931 --> 00:27:24,392
It was through donations from our friends.

384
00:27:25,852 --> 00:27:28,396
Friends that we have never seen
or know anything about.

385
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,565
One, two, three, here we go!

386
00:27:36,905 --> 00:27:39,532
We used to sleep on one small mattress,

387
00:27:39,616 --> 00:27:42,369
but now every kid has their own bed.

388
00:27:49,918 --> 00:27:52,003
This is where we used to live.

389
00:27:54,506 --> 00:27:58,134
This used to be one of the rooms
where our kids used to sleep.

390
00:27:59,386 --> 00:28:04,599
Here used to be our art… art gallery.
It was in the tree house up here.

391
00:28:04,683 --> 00:28:06,476
And then here was our kitchen.

392
00:28:07,185 --> 00:28:13,316
And then here,
this used to be our dance stage.

393
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:15,652
This is where we used to dance from.

394
00:28:17,070 --> 00:28:20,323
Where kids could laugh and dance.

395
00:28:25,662 --> 00:28:26,788
I still

396
00:28:27,664 --> 00:28:29,874
believed in Suuna, what he taught me,

397
00:28:29,958 --> 00:28:32,961
that one day,
everything you dream of can happen.

398
00:28:34,212 --> 00:28:36,047
When I arrived here,

399
00:28:36,131 --> 00:28:38,216
we could only have one meal a day.

400
00:28:40,969 --> 00:28:42,595
But everything has changed.

401
00:28:56,985 --> 00:28:59,821
Where we are now,
we had never anticipated to be.

402
00:29:03,199 --> 00:29:06,119
We started with just 15 people.

403
00:29:07,328 --> 00:29:14,335
Today, we have a family of 38 people.

404
00:29:21,301 --> 00:29:25,346
This wound that I am trying to bandage
is a very big wound.

405
00:29:29,267 --> 00:29:30,894
It is bigger than me.

406
00:30:02,926 --> 00:30:04,385
Good morning.

407
00:30:06,262 --> 00:30:10,308
Tragedy has befallen us.
One of our children has lost a mother.

408
00:30:21,945 --> 00:30:24,280
- Your name, sir?
- Suuna Hassan.

409
00:30:24,781 --> 00:30:29,327
Do they call you dad or uncle?

410
00:30:29,410 --> 00:30:31,329
- They call me Papa.
- Papa.

411
00:30:34,249 --> 00:30:35,458
It's such a tragedy.

412
00:30:42,882 --> 00:30:49,097
Even if a parent does nothing
or has nothing, they are still a parent.

413
00:30:56,479 --> 00:30:57,689
Let him stay strong!

414
00:30:58,189 --> 00:30:59,440
Give him strength.

415
00:31:02,944 --> 00:31:04,279
Stay strong.

416
00:31:16,124 --> 00:31:21,254
One of our kids lost their mother.
We must be there for him.

417
00:31:24,465 --> 00:31:27,677
When my mother died, I failed to bury her.

418
00:31:30,597 --> 00:31:33,850
By the time I arrived,
they had already buried her.

419
00:31:36,185 --> 00:31:40,773
I had no one to turn to.

420
00:31:42,859 --> 00:31:45,904
We must make sure our children

421
00:31:45,987 --> 00:31:52,952
have the love of a family
to get them through their grief.

422
00:32:09,344 --> 00:32:13,723
The group keeps growing
because I never turn down any child.

423
00:32:16,809 --> 00:32:22,982
Every time kids hear that
Suuna helps children from the streets,

424
00:32:23,066 --> 00:32:26,611
they would then tell their friends.

425
00:32:28,821 --> 00:32:33,034
So I had to add to the number I had.

426
00:32:38,414 --> 00:32:43,044
Fortunately, my wife supported me
because she was also okay with it.

427
00:32:49,842 --> 00:32:51,052
How did you sleep?

428
00:32:51,844 --> 00:32:53,054
Well.

429
00:32:54,263 --> 00:32:55,598
You have any problems?

430
00:32:56,391 --> 00:32:58,643
The only issue
I have now is my sore throat.

431
00:32:58,726 --> 00:33:02,480
You're likely coming down with the flu.
You have to drink lots of warm water.

432
00:33:02,563 --> 00:33:05,024
- I have flu too.
- Oh?

433
00:33:05,108 --> 00:33:06,651
- Should I cough and show you?
- Go ahead.

434
00:33:09,737 --> 00:33:11,948
Something else that I wanted to ask you,

435
00:33:12,031 --> 00:33:14,951
how long did you say
you were on the street for?

436
00:33:15,034 --> 00:33:16,119
Four years.

437
00:33:17,328 --> 00:33:18,454
Four years!

438
00:33:19,038 --> 00:33:23,042
When you get better,
do you want to stay or go away?

439
00:33:23,126 --> 00:33:26,713
Here we stay full time. I think
you saw the kids at night, didn't you?

440
00:33:26,796 --> 00:33:28,214
I did.

441
00:33:28,297 --> 00:33:30,967
I see myself staying here for a while.

442
00:33:32,927 --> 00:33:35,430
All those kids
used to be like you when they came.

443
00:33:36,097 --> 00:33:40,518
They got used to the place.

444
00:33:49,444 --> 00:33:53,573
The sadness I see in
the children when we've just brought them…

445
00:33:56,325 --> 00:33:58,619
I become everyone's parent.

446
00:34:01,330 --> 00:34:04,751
I try my best to show them

447
00:34:04,834 --> 00:34:07,086
because some of them
come without having that love.

448
00:34:29,650 --> 00:34:32,361
Most of the time,
it's very hard to believe

449
00:34:32,445 --> 00:34:34,947
that I came from the street.

450
00:34:39,619 --> 00:34:42,497
If I didn't meet up with Suuna,

451
00:34:42,580 --> 00:34:45,958
I don't think
I would have gone to university.

452
00:34:47,460 --> 00:34:50,046
Now I can achieve the goals that I have.

453
00:34:50,129 --> 00:34:51,672
I can achieve my dreams.

454
00:34:52,340 --> 00:34:55,927
I… I study hard
because I want to become a good lawyer.

455
00:35:04,393 --> 00:35:06,562
Sometimes we go into the villages,

456
00:35:07,105 --> 00:35:10,483
and we find children
that are sleeping on tiny mattresses.

457
00:35:11,317 --> 00:35:14,195
These things make me sad.

458
00:35:18,699 --> 00:35:21,369
I want to be a teacher when I grow up.

459
00:35:25,373 --> 00:35:28,668
What I really want is to build a school

460
00:35:28,751 --> 00:35:31,838
where I would admit
those children that don't go to school.

461
00:35:36,092 --> 00:35:40,179
Put them there to study and feed them.

462
00:35:49,981 --> 00:35:53,484
When I grow up and finish studying,

463
00:35:53,568 --> 00:35:56,571
I want to help others

464
00:35:57,155 --> 00:35:59,532
because I've seen many people help others,

465
00:35:59,615 --> 00:36:01,534
and I was also helped.

466
00:36:05,663 --> 00:36:11,043
Now Masaka Kids has its own goals,
which I believe it can achieve.

467
00:36:17,550 --> 00:36:22,346
I have hope that Masaka Kids Africana
will produce doctors.

468
00:36:24,098 --> 00:36:26,142
It will produce big artists.

469
00:36:33,441 --> 00:36:35,359
I believe I have presidents.

470
00:36:36,277 --> 00:36:38,487
I believe I have ministers.

471
00:36:41,199 --> 00:36:44,619
Because if you look here at Masaka Kids,
every kid has their own dream.

472
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:48,873
And if I try to look into their dreams,

473
00:36:49,874 --> 00:36:51,834
I see that I'm on a good path.

474
00:36:54,462 --> 00:36:59,300
I just have to light up their path.

475
00:37:29,872 --> 00:37:31,165
{\an8}<i>Masaka</i>

476
00:37:31,666 --> 00:37:32,833
