Beautiful News: Seyi Oluyole
Contents:
One out of every five children in the world who aren’t in school lives in Nigeria. Across the country, girls in particular can't afford classes. Seyi Oluyole founded the Dream Catchers Academy for Girls, an NGO which uses dancing and the arts to enable young female students to receive an education. Her free-of-charge boarding school provides a home for the kids, some of whom didn’t have one before joining. Through quirky, energetic choreographed dances to popular and traditional African beats, they’re inspired to heal and hope for more. “I’m just trying to change the narrative for them to be able to see that as long as you can dream it, you can achieve it,” Oluyole says. Visit dreamcatchersacademy.org/donation to support their efforts. Footage by Dream Catchers Academy was used in the creation of this film.
