For Olachi May, music is more than entertainment. It is a way to inspire hope, build confidence and remind children that they are loved and valued.
Last week, Olachi May visited Cherryfield Orphanage Home in Kpaduma, Abuja, where she and her team spent time teaching the children how to play the piano and helping them form a small choir.
A Visit That Taught a Powerful Lesson
Although the visit was centred on music, some of the most memorable moments came from the little things that many people often take for granted.
One child asked Olachi if she could leave her water bottle behind. Another child kept touching her wristwatch, not because it was expensive, but simply because it was ticking.
These small moments reminded her that life in an orphanage is not only about having food and shelter. Children also need affection, attention, companionship and a sense of belonging.
Music Creates Moments of Happiness
As the children sang together, their faces lit up with excitement. For those few minutes, they were simply children enjoying music, friendship and the happiness of being part of a choir.
For Olachi, the experience reinforced her belief that music can do more than produce beautiful sounds. It can encourage children, build confidence and give them something meaningful to look forward to.
When a child who has experienced loss learns to play a note on the piano, that small achievement can become a source of encouragement and hope.
Building Confidence Through Music
Olachi May explained that her goal at Cherryfield Orphanage Home goes beyond training singers. She wants to help the children discover their abilities and understand that their voices matter.
Through music lessons, piano training and choir activities, she hopes to create an environment where every child feels included, encouraged and appreciated.
She also intends to use her platform as Olachi May to continue sharing stories and experiences from orphanage homes.
A Call to Show Love and Support
Reflecting on the visit, Olachi encouraged people to appreciate the simple blessings they sometimes overlook, including clean water, family, bedtime stories and the comfort of having someone who cares for them.
She urged those who are able to visit orphanage homes in their communities, explaining that a small gift, a song or simply spending time with the children can make a difference in their day.
She also expressed gratitude to everyone supporting orphanages across Abuja, acknowledging their kindness and contribution towards keeping hope alive.
Olachi May Promises to Continue Supporting Children
Olachi May says she remains committed to visiting orphanage homes and teaching music because she believes every child deserves to be heard, encouraged and loved.
Her experience at Cherryfield Orphanage Home is a reminder that meaningful acts of kindness do not always require large donations. Sometimes, giving your time, sharing a skill or making a child smile can leave a lasting impression.
Conclusion
The visit to Cherryfield Orphanage Home in Kpaduma, Abuja, highlights the importance of compassion, community support and creative activities in children's lives.
Through music, Olachi May hopes to continue bringing joy and confidence to children, one lesson and one song at a time.
