Members of the DWP Academy, who were present, performed and entertained the kids; enhancing the day's magic.
Speaking during the event, Championrolie said that it has been his dream to help children who are less fortunate.

He noted that he chose Kotobabi as the location for this outreach because he grew up there and knows how it feels to have nothing at home.
“What motivated me was that, growing up, I lived with my parents until I left home. I always saw my mom give to the people of the society. She will cook and not share with us alone but will extend it to the outside people.

“I have learned this traits from her. I love to give so when I got to this stage of my professional dance career, I decided to go out and help the people on the streets,” he said.
The DWP Academy dancer added that these streets kids are suffering, hence the reason he created the foundation to help support and put smiles on their faces.

"This foundation is there to help them and give them that hope.”
Championrolie also urged the government and other institutions to join in supporting street children, and ensuring that their dreams are not left unfulfilled.

The Championrolie Foundation, launched in December last year, has consistently aimed to support less fortunate children.
Its first outreach event provided meals to 500 street children, and in March 2023, the foundation organized a free health screening for children living on the streets.
