00:00Andrea took me to this orphanage where she was volunteering.

00:05We were doing internship.

00:07The whole town would bring their trash and dump it there.

00:09It was a really total mess, very dirty.

00:12I wrote in my journal,

00:14God, why did you bring me to that place?

00:16I really don't want to go back there.

00:19You are in a place where you are not given food.

00:21Are you left?

00:23Grab that cassava from that dirty man

00:25to have it for lunch, to have it for breakfast.

00:29Some girls, they can't sleep with men

00:32because they want something to eat.

00:34The local government said to close the orphanage.

00:38They're going to just go where?

00:41I'm going to stay and take these kids.

00:45You're going to stay in Africa?

00:47And literally my dad said,

00:49Andrea, get your butt home.

00:52The government officials looking at me like,

00:55you're crazy, go home.

00:58And there was a burnt frog sticking out of my windowsill.

01:02And they're like, that's a death curse.

01:06I was so happy.

01:08They told us we are taking you to another place,

01:10to a place called Musana.

01:12We wanted Musana to be owned in the heart,

01:16owned in the mind by the community.

01:19And so no white person should start anything in Africa.

01:22That's where the miracle of Musana comes in.

01:24We need to own this as the community

01:26so that it becomes our responsibility to change.

01:31People say, you know, Africa is a basket with holes.

01:35How do we revive our dignity?

01:38There is a big change in mindset.

01:42So you see people now sacrificing their time,

01:46their energy and everything.

01:48Once that is there,

01:50it uplifts people more than you can imagine.

01:54For us, a kiss was more than a kiss.

01:58Wait a minute, did we really just do that?

02:03When they brought us at Musana,

02:06it impressed me that I can be a teacher

02:09because I would love young children so much.

02:15Being loved builds you up.

02:17You feel you're someone.

02:19You feel you can provide beyond your capacity

02:21just because you're loved.

02:26What a wonderful thing God has done for us.
