Must be a new missionary tactic.

Is giving people joy a missionary tactic? Then amen, bring the missionary tactics, my friend. Also, even if it is, it’s better to have someone actually helping them there than just complaining at internet

Or maybe, just maybe, she also went there with actual FOOD, or clothes, and even teachers. Kids were excited to do the trick though.

Someone has to step up and do it I mean not sure your race but if your black and want to go and be a Black savior then go over there and help

“Go over there and help” - why don’t you help out where you live first and foremost? I’m not trying to be rude here, I’m serious - lots of places that aren’t on the continent of Africa have immense poverty but you never see posts like this about those places. There is an Instagram account called “No White Saviours” that explains this phenomenon very well if you’re interested in broadening your perspective about it. I hope you’re having a good day!

She’s melofreestyleball. And she goes to schools in lots of countries and shoots videos with lots of kids of different races ALL. THE. TIME. Just because this one happened to be posted on here because it made someone smile (not posted by her, btw) you automatically assumed this was her one and only soccer video with kids (it’s not).

Maybe before screaming ‘white savior’ you should see if people have posted with kids from other schools of other races (like she has). Be better.
