Giving comes naturally to her. If she is not donating to a charity organisation, she is offering a helping hand to someone who needs it on social media. In 2019, DJ and mom-to-be Lamiez Holworthy- Morule adopted 30 orphaned children from Galaletsang Orphanage, in Pretoria, and has been building them a home through her own funds and donations from close friends and family.Every holiday season, she spends time with them for Christmas and she visits as often as she can. She, her mom, and her husband Khuli Chana consider all 30 children their own. 

BUILDING THEM A HOME

 She doesn't often post about the orphanage,to always protect the kids' dignity. The last time she posted was when she needed donations to purchase beds and Jacaranda FM saw her tweets and surprised the orphanage with 20 brand new bunk beds and R200 000 towards the building of the orphanage. A heavily pregnant Lamiez says her dream has always been to have her own orphanage. "I adopted 30 orphans in 2019 and have taken care of them with zero funding and zero sponsors since,' she says. "I've been blessed and lucky enough to finally find a space that we've slowly been transforming into a dream home for my kiddies and can't tell you just how happy this makes me.

GETTING HELP FROM FAMILY

 She has always protected the children from the limelight and hardly speaks about the day-to-day work at the orphanage. "I've always shied away from posting about it in order, to not only protect the dignity of my kids but also because giving back has always been a direct way of communicating with God and my ancestors,' she says. "But even this can get hard when you're doing it alone, with nothing but faith and help from my husband, my mom, and my siblings who manage the place.'

WALKING THE JOURNEY

She recently approached Bathu footwear owned by Theo Baloyi to donate shoes to her 30 children. "I realised that I don't have to walk this journey alone and asked my friends at Bathu to donate brand new school shoes and sneakers. I wish you could've seen the pure joy on my kids' faces,' she says. "Many have called me crazy for taking on such a huge responsibility with the state of our country, the state of our economy and all that is happening around me(throw in my own stress and responsibilities) but I find comfort in knowing that Modimo Le Badimo Baka |God and my ancestors) would not plant such a big dream in me without giving me the resources to make it happen,' Lamiez says there is still a lot of work to be done but she is still going strong. "Almost five years later and we've made it this far. The same Gods that made a way then, will make a way now. Here's to being even just a little light in a world filled with so much darkness.'
