Argh, what a lovely gesture for you putting a smile on the beautiful, poor ghetto kids from Matapi flats ,Mbare🇿🇼❤️! Yonks back when I resided along 3rd Avenue, Mbare, my bestie from 5th Avenue,Mbare married his wife who resided next door to a shebeen we frequented in the shabby hostels 😊! I feel sorry for hordes of families living , crammed like sardines in those dilapidated, poorly ventilated & lit ramshackle flats 😢! It’s depressing to witness the young lads eke out a living out of everything possible…😮😢….sad that’s how our beloved nation has turned out to be..,😅😢!

Thank you bro for always coming back to watch and interact as usual. Your support is well appreciate. This was an eye opener for me as I knew Matapi flats existed but had not been there to experience how people live. It was so emotional for me but I thank God for the opportunity to spent the short time with my mister’s and brothers and that what makes me happy. I am hoping to visit again next time and hopefully give back to my home county even if it’s little it will be fulfilling for me🙏🏾

greetings always sis Maria, great once again to see matapi , kumatapi kumbare, thats a very crowded flats and too risky for health conditions , i never liked or attempt to play around those flats, those ghetto youths can do better if they can focus on whatthey are doing but they have to stay away from the stigma of drugs, the aunt have been there selling since 1980, thats lifetime , a family of 8 living in that accomodation its bad, the problem with the flats , you only own that space , u cant have a garden or backroom, good to bless the children with the gifts of sweets, good work and keep it up sister
@MariaHamz

Hello once more and thanks for always coming back to watch and support me. Yes, something needs to be done at the Matapi flats so people can have a better life. I am sure our government knows and I read somewhere that they were doing something about it but not sure of the progress. As a Christian myself I believe prayer will help to bring change to our country. The youth needs help to engage in projects and as you rightly said they need to stay away from the stigma of drugs. The problem is it’s a cycle that needs breaking. The moms are amazing and I salute them for what they are doing ❤️

Hello Maria, much love from abroad! Not sure what your objective is while filming real life on the ground but it looks like you are doing a great job. Are you aware that you have the whole of RU-vid as an audience. Well, at least you have me watching your videos from the UK. Would be great if you could add captions to your video to translate the dialogue. I think we are missing a lot of the local language conversation. Thanks though and all the best!

Thank you my brother. I will need to find out more information and the best way you can help. I will be honest with you here that its an area I have not dealt with before and I know gifting on social media can be sensitive to others who may not have the same vision so I would not want to be involved until such a time when I have enough knowledge on how to get help for others in need. This is something I have also always wanted to do in my life and believe I have calling and my purpose for it on this earth. At the moment I do this from my own pocket and offer the little I can but I hope one day God will make a way. Once more thank you and I promise to get back to you as soon as I have more details and information on the best way that you and maybe others here who may want to do can offer help to those in need on my channel. Please if anyone reads this and know the best way to do this please advice here. I would appreciate❤️
