00:00I'm in the holy city of Karbala, Iraq, along with the rest of my high school senior class

00:04on a spiritual field trip during the winter break.

00:06We spent the last few days traveling across the different holy cities in Iraq, including

00:11Samarra and Najaf, and today we'll be visiting one of Iraq's many orphanages, providing

00:16a safe space for those who don't have any adults left to care for them.

00:20This school is 95% of the orphans, and this is a very special school which is run by the

00:29father of the Imam of the Saints, Hadam.

00:32May Allah's peace and blessings be upon you.

00:34May Allah's peace and blessings be upon you.

00:42I got to speak to these beautiful kids, mashallah, faces full of light.

00:46They were asking me about where I was from, where the kids are from, and one of the kids

00:50made me cry.

00:51He was like, hey, when you go to Masumah, please pray for us, make the ayah, it was

00:54unbelievable.

01:00We're at the orphanage.

01:02Right now we're going to be playing soccer.

01:04It's going to be a fun time.

01:06They look like pretty good.

01:07Who's winning?

01:08Our friends are winning, brother.

01:11I have no money on us.

01:12No money.

01:13It's all, I have a thousand bucks on me.

01:15With the green team competing against the yellow team, we were ready to begin the soccer game.

01:29Come on, come on, come on.

01:40The goal they made, that was a legit goal.

01:42I wasn't letting that through.

01:43But before that, I wasn't taking them seriously.

01:45Overall, the match was disappointing from our end, but really good on their end.

01:48We didn't do that good.

01:49But, it's about respect, it's about sportsmanship.

01:54Cheers!

01:57After taking some group pictures, we handed out candies before visiting the inside of

02:02the orphanage.

02:12The population of A35, 30 million, 1.5 million orphaned children.

02:19Hundreds of thousands of children, they left out, with no structure.

02:25That's why one of the key services now is orphanage.

02:42What we didn't realize is that during the soccer game, the girls were having a balga

02:46party in the other campus.

02:47With Molana already invited, we headed up to check it out.

02:50It's a balga party, it's a party!

02:54Cheers!

03:15We came here to visit a group of orphans.

03:17They have a school here.

03:19We played a soccer game with them.

03:22It was a tie.

03:23Alhamdulillah.

03:24Best way to finish it up.

03:25And we came up, we had a little celebration, they had a cake, everything.

03:30It was really fun.

03:31All of them lined up.

03:32Alhamdulillah, it was a great experience.

03:34Great seeing all of the orphans line up.

03:36Yeah, amazing experience.

03:38If you can, be sure to donate to help orphans around the world.
