Giving out Tangerines to Kids in South Africa- FULL DOCUMENTARY

last year I had the privilege of bringing 25 guys to South Africa we had the most amazing time we got to camp out in Kruger National Park [Music] with hyenas surrounding our tents at night [Music] thank you it's going down baby we got the bungee jump one of the highest bungee jumps in the world [Music] we backpacked for four days across the drakensberg to reach Azula Village [Music] hospitals [Music] let's go [Music] we got to experience how the Zulu people live [Music] I understand yo let's go [Music] and we even got to pet Cheetos [Music] but that's not what I'm here to talk about today [Music] what I'm here to talk about is The Shanty towns of South Africa or in American terms the slumps 61 percent of South Africa lives in poverty that's about 36 million people 21 of the people don't have enough food to put on the table it's sad just thinking about it but I really felt I had to see it for myself [Music] thank you one of my friends somehow found two tour guides that were willing to bring us through two of The Shanty towns their names were guguletu and langa [Music] foreign the people of The Shanty towns work very hard to make a living many only make the equivalent of two dollars a day [Music] getting video footage can be very challenging because people aren't used to having a camera in their face in their eyes it can look like you're judging them good we're taking a tour the solution tangerines giving a small gift is a great way to break any tension and to show that you're really a friend [Music] foreign [Music] there is no running water in the shanty towns all water must be filled up from pipes in the center of town and then carried back to their houses by bucket this is how they take a bath yeah from that one wow you're crazy [Music] hello you're gonna show us your house [Music] okay come Andy we're going to see his house [Music] Mommy that's yours This Is Us yeah oh wow oh my gosh seven people live in this room our next step the orphanage 26 children live in this one small room two to three children per bed [Music] this is the orphanage mother she cares for each child as if it's her own food rations are provided to the orphanage by the government jeez I was so surprised how happy the kids of the orphanage seemed to be and then some of them and then she would sleep there with all the smaller ones I think there's like three of them so they're gonna keep coming from school they're starting to come back from school completely outside if you pay close attention you'll notice that when we give people tangerines they cut both hands together and receive it with both hands [Music] this is a sign of humbleness and gratitude in South Africa all right Matthew [Music] you may notice that many of the kids are wearing very nice clothing much of this is due to private donations which are sent into The Shanty towns next up oh yeah the schools the government in South Africa provides free schooling for the people in The Shanty towns over the course of our visit we saw many of the schools some of them were extremely run down [Music] others were much nicer we made sure to leave tangerines by each and every kid this is the school bathroom or should I say outhouse this is the school water fountain hello and this is the school kitchen is this for lunch today yes yes very nice what's for lunch in this small tiny room they cook hundreds of meals for the kids every single day okay why you should open that restaurant I want to eat that's a lot of food Eric guide explained to us that a teacher in the shanty towns needs to play three roles a teacher a parent and a therapist unfortunately due to the tremendous poverty that exists in the shanty towns home is not always safe as there's a lot of abuse that goes on so school is not just School is a safe place a place where kids can go to get away from all of their problems where they could feel safe and laugh and play [Music] [Applause] [Music] the children of the shanty towns take School very seriously [Applause] in their minds getting a good education can be their only ticket out into the real world [Music] and here is kosa that clicking sound that you hear every once in a while is actually part of a language [Music] many of the lessons in school involve either song or dance [Music] song and dance are a very big part of the culture in South Africa [Applause] [Music] these little dogs [Music] you said here each classroom can have up to 50 students in this classroom the principal asked the kids if they could put on a mini talent show for us [Music] say hi I'm from New York America I'm from Toronto Canada I'm from Los Angeles yeah Spiderman Spider-Man [Applause] [Laughter] [Applause] then it came time for me to show them a thing or two you ready yes [Music] oh my God [Applause] this is a privately funded musical program for the children in Google record thank you [Music] after school was let out we gave out as many tangerines as we possibly could to the children [Music] excitement for something so small in America what it takes to get a child really excited is a 500 PlayStation or a one thousand dollar phone but here in the shanty town I was seeing that same amount of excitement from getting a tangerine I walked out of the shanty towns learning a lesson that I'll never forget that more is not more I saw a lot of people with no phones no movies no PlayStations and yet I couldn't help but think to myself that they actually look happier this way just being together talking working laughing playing real life relationships they don't have much but what they do have is each other and at the end of the day isn't that what really counts [Music] even with my evolution [Music] three two one action subscribe crossovers go ahead yeah [Music]
