A post on the Dream Catchers Instagram page shows the gratitude the kids have for Oluyole, the force behind the group:

“You see all our smiles and dance videos, there is someone behind it all. There is a special person who took us off the street and takes care of us. She feeds us, sends us to school, buys us clothes and takes care of us even when we are sick. She is Aunty Seyi.”

After being celebrated by popular American and British celebrities, they are now being featured on a mini-documentary on BBC.
