72 Hours With Mr Beast In Ghana!

We're going to make sure the landscape looks great. Bro, I've been a gardener for the last 27 years. Amazing. Here it is, man. Hi. Hi! This is the magic. And I'm 27. Oh, wow. So imagine my experience. You started planting when you were in your mom's stomach? Yes. How did you know? Bro. So I'm super excited to be hosting different creators from different countries in my beautiful country. And it's all about Beast Philanthropy. I'm so sorry to interrupt, yeah, but instead I should welcome you to Ghana one more time. So, where do I start from? I believe you all have seen the MrBeast video. We're dedicating the next year and almost ten million dollars to the biggest video project in the history of YouTube. Building them a city to get them out for good. And it happens right here in my beloved country, Ghana. Mr. Beast was not in Ghana all by himself. You know what he did? He invited 20 other amazing creators from different parts of the globe. And as a host, your one and only, Wode Maya. Ah yeah. Big brother, Wode Maya, for the good work he's doing. Now one interesting thing I want to say, Wode, I remember somewhere 2020, we saw you doing a content with a yogurt guy. That was the first time we saw you and you captured just a little scene about the bus and that brought us a lot of, you know, tourists to visit Ghana and also to join our cross city tour bus. So we are very, very grateful. And you know how we do it. We're on a journey to showcase the beauty of Africa to the world. Hence the reason why I decided to show them my beautiful city. I call him Wode Maya or Woody. Yes. Yes. Oh babe, oh babe, oh babe, oh babe. Currently inside art and craft market in Accra Ghana and the mission is simple. I just want to test the bargaining skills of my fellow creators across the globe. So they are all right here in Ghana trying to buy something because I asked them to buy anything they want but after the pictures I'm just going to find out how much each and everyone spent in buying what they have. So that is why most of them are in the market right now bargaining. So we'll give prizes. The person who has the greatest bargaining skills because one of them just told me that they started the the clothes from 600 and he finally bought it 200. Yeah but I give you the African price, not the European price. Because I buy two. 500 for the two. Okay I say 350, you say 500. We meet in the middle, 400. 400? 400? I am happy, I love Ghana, I wear Ghana twice. Oh okay okay. Okay? 400? This one is like a husband and wife. So I just bought this. Okay. He started at 550. 550. I got it for 200. If you bought this below or above 100 cedis, you have to go back. Huh? Below? Below. It shouldn't go above 100 cedis. Oh my goodness. How much did you pay for it? 120. Heck, that was so good. Yeah. what was the initial price initial price 950. i said no no no no my friend is from ghana he will get mad at me so i say 200 and then he said okay bye oh Oh! you took a picture i took a picture with him great job 200. Oh, I'm sorry. Oh, I'm sorry. The original price? I don't know actually. You don't know? No, ask me. How much will the original price be? Okay, something like this. Mostly we sell it for 75, 45. It depends on which type of wood it is. So how much did you pay for it? So we took both for 40. 40? Oh no, no. And that means it's not the original one? No, but you passed. We're in Libya. You passed. What am I in the middle of? The man who wrote that, I shall speak. Yeah, everything cool. Fried yam with fried fish. Okay, let's try it. So you want to try it out? Yeah. All right, let's go for it. Let me say, turn, turn to this. This one, you can't bag it. No, no, no problem. So, Ima, turn to this. Do you normally eat it? Yeah, street food. Okay. That's it. Okay, we gonna try it. And like, they cook it like fresh, you know, so you just frying it and then. Okay, and this one? Go for one yam. Show me, yeah. Yep, and you dip it in the pepper sauce. This is so good by the way. Should we try it? You want to try? I thought it was a pineapple. I thought it was a pineapple. That's a yam. Yum, so much goes on I'm starting to speak now. He just said, is this pineapple? Guy, how can this be pineapple? Come on, Paul. And since it's a Sunday, I had to take them to the beach to experience the Accra Sunday beach culture. I'm walking down the street. I hear children shouting hey guys enough of the fun now let's get back to business Mr. Beast is currently empowering two different villages in Ghana. I believe you watched a video from Mr. Beast where he built 10 different schools in different countries. This village was one of them. I feel like you're doing an incredible job in Ghana, man. This field behind me by the end of the video will be a city. I'm not exaggerating. We're going to turn this field into a literal city starting with our first house in our neighborhood. First, we pour some concrete. We need to make sure that these houses are built on a solid foundation. I mean this place was, nothing was here. Nothing was here. What inspired you to do this? Well I mean I don't know if many people in Ghana know but this is where we source the cacao for our Feastables chocolate bars and you know there's a lot of kids that work on a farm and don't get an education so I wanted to build this village for kids that they can go to the school we built, get an education and not have to work on the farms and we pay all our farmers here in Ghana a living income reference price. We use fair trade certified beans which means we pay them a fair trade premium so thank you all so much for being part of this amazing family you know that i don't take you for granted right i appreciate you a lot but if today is your first time seeing this face on your screen my name is Wanda Maya, you're one and only annoying village boy on a journey to change the negative narrative of Africa please subscribe and be part of this awesome channel I want to know is this the school that MrBeast built yes this is the school that Mr Beast built together with the community wow together with the community of course how Because we see this as partnership, the community contributed in various ways to, of course, giving us even the support, giving us access to the community, and then also working with us throughout the process. So you mean this is a fresh block built by Mr. B? Exactly, yeah. Wow. What was the previous school then? So the previous school was... I would say it was a building that was almost collapsing. And it's important that we built this school, because here's the one that they currently go to. How many kids go to school in here? Three hundred and twenty-five. Three hundred and twenty-five in this one building? Yes. Oh my gosh. When it is raining, the place gets flooded. So because of that, the children don't come. And so we had to work with the community to bring it down and then, of course, see what... So every block that we see here was built by Mr. Beast and the community? Exactly, yeah. That's incredible, man. Wow. So it's from primary to... From kindergarten. From kindergarten? Yeah. In the past... Kindergarten and class one were all put together under one shed and then they didn't even have the kindergarten, they didn't have a playroom, so now they have a playroom where the kids have their play items and everything to play. Yeah so generally that is what it was and a section of it was actually collapsing. This part of giving school bags to kids really makes me so emotional because I once went to school without a school bag. I mean there's something we call the rice bag, the one kg bag of rice, that's what I used to go to school with. So it's beautiful to see that he has given young kids the opportunity to own a bag. I mean I feel so emotional and I'm actually more inspired. To do something like this for the community, you know, I've done it before. I once went back to my senior high school to give back to people. I mean, giving them exactly opportunities that I never had. And seeing what is happening in here today, I feel like I should just go out there and do bigger and better. I think the most important one is to say to, to say, just like, say, how are you? Thank you. I think it's a very important phrase, ETSI SEI, ETSI SEI, ETSI SEI, ETSI SEI. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So we are currently going to the chips of the community. The community, this is where they receive their medical. But everything related to health is what they're receiving now. Until it becomes very serious for them, then they refer it to the nurse nearby. Bye. Yeah, bye. Oh wow. But what we have here... Is that chips going back? Yeah, that's what the community... No, that's crazy, man. Yeah. Like, can you believe it? This is where they currently give service. What? So as we are going in, you get to meet the... It looks like somebody's bedroom. No way! Yeah. How? Actually, it's a rented place, so the community came together to do this. So, who pays for this? The community? Yeah, the community pays for the building, but then, of course, these are government workers. Hi. Meet Esther. Esther, how are you? You have the nursing here? Are you posted by the government? So you get paid by the government? If I say Chips Compound, Chips Compound is basically a place where you receive medical treatment. I mean, I believe that most of the kids in here were born in here. Yeah, but I can actually measure it though. One, two, three. Where's the source of water? This is what they use for everything that we use water for. Everything that we use water for, that's what we were using. For drinking, washing, both domestic use and maybe for agricultural purpose, those who own this river pass through their farms. There was no tap in here? No, it got spoilt. The tap got spoilt in 2012. 2012? Yeah. And never got replaced? Never. So this is the borehole that the guy talked about that it has not been functional for a very long time. I really want to check if it has really not been functional. No water! This is the borehole that Mister B constructed. So this facility doesn't have water and because of the size and also the as you can see they are not able to offer delivery service here. So pregnant women have to go all the way to across road which is about eight to ten kilometers from here. With the same road? On the same road, on a motorbike so you can imagine. Do you have a miscarriage as a result of using a motorbike? Wow. Yeah, so this is where we are now. I know how it feels like to have a miscarriage. You once had a miscarriage? Yes. What happened? Because we are not having the health facility. Unless we take a motorbike from here to Adatang. And it's very far. And as you know, a pregnant woman with a motorbike. So you're nine months? Yeah, they were nine months. And you were behind the motorbike? Yeah, I was on the motorbike. They were twins. The one is even here with me. One survived, one did not survive. Yeah. Where's the other one? Abby! At that time they were twins. Twins? Two girls? Yeah. Two girls. Been any transformation for this ship's comfort or they are still using it? So at the moment they are still using it but obviously in partnership with the community we are putting up something and very soon they can move there. Imagine being here and this is the only source of your medical facility or medical health So the new facility right behind me is the clinic that Mr. Beast built in this particular village. I mean, from the previous one that I showed you to what you're seeing right now. Listen, is this not incredible? As a Ghanaian, I'm even short of words, you know, because to see somebody travel from far, come to your country, identify a problem and bring solution to the problem. Would you guys believe me if I tell you that whatever you're seeing today did not exist nine months ago? I wouldn't. You wouldn't? This got built so fast, bro. I mean, are you inspired? Super inspired, bro. I want to see you do this in Mexico. You should come. And I'll come and launch it for you, bro. Behind me is a 10-unit classroom block built by Mr. Beast. But what if I tell you that nine months ago the blocks didn't exist? So he transformed a plain land into what you're seeing today. How does it feel being the biggest creator in the world? Um, pretty normal. But you know one thing I love about you? What? Like we had different creators in here and you've been able to accommodate everyone. And it doesn't even feel like you're the biggest creator in the world. Thank you. I mean, we're all humans at the end of the day. Amazing, man. So behind me are 10 one-bedroom self-contained for the teachers that are going to teach in this school. And all of them are fully furnished. I think MrBeast has to take me in there. What do you think? Have you been inside? No. Wait, come check out. But who's going to live in here? These are going to be teachers and people who work at that school right there. That would be it. Oh, okay. So come on in. So this is the... This is the... The living room. Yep, the living room. They haven't connected the power yet. And then over here is the kitchen. Wow. Come check it out. So each house has their own kitchen. Running water too. Over here is the bedroom. How many bedrooms? Bruce? One bedroom. One bedroom each house. Yep. bedroom oh so with the yeah we have to put the other bed frames and stuff and then we come over here this is for the power and there's a shower and toilet hot water everything you need this is impressive yeah running hot water shower everything so and we built 10 of these all for free no rent You're not just building a school. Oh, yeah. What else are you constructing? Here we built a marketplace. We built multiple bathrooms. We built multiple wells. We built ten houses. We built a community center. We built a bunch of street lights. We built a solar grid. We built water pumps. We built a bridge. We built a road. We built a bunch of plants. We built a playground. We built a giant farm. We built a fish farm. We built two water towers. Yeah, it's over there. I'll show you. We built a soccer field. We've built a kitchen for uh the kids uh i'm probably forgetting a bunch of other stuff we built a lot so it's like you're building a whole ecosystem yeah basically from the very first day that you arrived in here yeah coming in here seeing everything how does that make you feel oh i i mean i love this project and tomorrow yeah the community is going to see it for the first time they don't know that you're building they know we're building it but they haven't been inside But what is the inspiration behind the design? Yeah, so the houses we worked, we asked the teachers, hey, if you were to get a house, what would you want it to look like? The school we talked to the, across the street is a different school. We talked to the head of the school over there and asked her to design the school. So we worked with the people who will live here to design it. And they don't even realize that's what they're designing. I'm so inspired by what you've done. And I just want to say, keep doing what you do. Thank you. And I wish you all the best. I appreciate it. And thanks for coming out and helping, man. so the school structure is done and we are helping paint the school i've never painted any house before man not even my house never in my life i'm colorblind so i suck at painting bro you're gonna paint today oh yeah we gotta do it bro oh wow we have more to go oh we got a lot more A lot more. Cool effect, huh? teamwork makes great swag yes finished he sent me messages wow that's a lot of messages man yes i was telling you before i know then oh yeah this is a video that i did in yeah Burundi? Yes and I told you I was doing similar thing in Ghana. Oh wow. But then it wasn't so we were not visible so no one knew about us then. Oh wow. Then Beast brought us. So we are the ones that are doing the feeding. So Mr Beast brought you to do the feeding? Yes. So you're feeding all the kids? All the communities. All the communities? And that's how come we link the farms to the kitchen. So how many people do you feed in a day? 2000. Every day? Yes. that's amazing ladies are all in the kitchen all right so i can't see them can i see them yes they eat fried rice yes they eat fried rice a for apple b for ball and so which means that we're all gonna eat right after that Everybody's getting to eat. oh wow how can i taste that one of the meals please Please Amy, Amy, Amy. You mean this is a school feeding program? Yes it is. Bro where can I enroll man? In the government school. In the government school? Yeah, that means that business with them. Hey that's a proper meal. This is incredible man. In true MrBeast style, currently there are 32 women employed. 32 women employed? So before, before how many people were you employing? Before we had 10 in different municipalities. They are on your pay bill? Yes they are funding it too. Congratulations, man. Thank you, bro. I can see the excitement on your face. Yes, I'm so excited. Yeah? I'm excited because it goes beyond the meal. Now we've connected the farmers. Okay. So that's why they are also doing the dynamic agroforestry farms. Wow. So from the farm, it comes to the kitchen. What do you want to tell MrBeast? We are so grateful. And because of him, there are kids that can now come to school and know that they are going to get something to eat. Amazing, man. Thank you. Thank you. So I had to switch a car, you know why? Because I have a flight to catch this evening. I'm always supposed to join the team in the bus, but this time around they organized a V8 for me to take me to the location and bring me back to the airport. I'm flying to Rwanda, but come along with us. Today's actually the last day of filming. I can't wait to see what today got to offer. Today's the day MrBeast is gonna hand over the school that he has been building for the people. It's newly built. 10-unit classroom block, he builds a teacher's quarters, so many things, man. And I'm going to show you a bit, but yeah, come along with me. You're more like the architect behind it. Yes, somehow. Somehow. A rule. Yeah, yes. Because whatever you said is what is being built over there. Yes, yes. So how do you feel today? I feel so proud, so amazing. I'm very happy, very excited. Very excited? Yes. Okay, I can't wait to see your face when they hand over the project. Oh. So which means that the teachers will now have accommodation. The teachers have accommodation. No more waiting in Asaman Kese to look for a car. Maybe before you get a car, it's almost eight o'clock. Our classes also start at eight. So before this building, was there another building for the school? Yeah, there was a dilapidated building for the school. And you are the head teacher for the same building? Yes, I will say I came here last year and saw the situation. My predecessor started something but I couldn't work. But by the grace, I always went through. Yeah, so that's That's really amazing. We are seeing this thing by the grace of God. So your teachers had to travel several kilometers just to come to school? Yeah. And this time around they're just going to stay? They are going to stay here. Early by 6.30, a teacher will be around to monitor things going on. I really want to see one of the teachers. I want to know, yeah, before this particular project, you used to live in here or you live far out from here? Yeah. I was here and then later I moved to town. So you live in town? Yes. Asaman Kese? Yes. So every time you need to come from Asaman Kese? Yes, to here. Like, how do you get here? Through public transport. And how many hours do you spend on the road? Roughly 15, 20 minutes all. Most, 30 minutes. So this time around you're going to live on campus? Yes. And I'm so excited about it. I can see that from your face. He did not just build the school, but he also equipped each and every classroom with desks for the students, desks for the teachers. And the most exciting one for me is the white board right behind us. Because if you come to a typical school in Ghana, just like this, our boards are not white, but rather, blackboards. So I'm happy to say that I helped paint this particular school because this is the job that I did yesterday man. This is so cool man. So as part of the school feeding program, we established a chicken coop. These chickens that you've seen are laying eggs. So they're definitely going to lay eggs, which are going to feed the kids on campus. And not just that, whatever that they eat in here comes from here. So he also has a farm that is established right behind the kitchen coop. So definitely the manure from here is what's going to serve as a fertilizer for the farm. This is impressive, man. Are you guys ready? This is the exhibit that is officially open. Oh my goodness what a beautiful moment. Yo, this is indeed such an important initiative and I'm so happy to witness this live in Caled. The joyful moment, I mean it's more like a happy day in here for the community. I don't even know what to say, the excitement is unreal. Everybody is just super happy the fact that someone brought a change to their community. Hey, Mr. Beast, all I want to say is that thank you so much for using your platform for a good cause, and I'll see you all in the next one. Oh my god.
