THE BALL

What a ball,what a ball!
A ball with wings .
It can fly from one continent to another.
From America to Africa.
What a ball, what a ball!
It has the power to attract learners who dropped out of school to start school again.
What a ball, what a ball!
A feet is now safe from debris waiting to attack during sports.
What a ball, what a ball!
A ball that has provided boots for me.
What a ball, what a ball!
A ball that has destroyed gender barriers.
Female learners are able to play soccer with male learners.
What a ball, what a ball
It is an enemy of illiteracy.
What a ball, what a ball!
It has imparted female learners with skills of defending themselves against sexual harassment.
What a ball, what a ball!
It has now visited standard one to four learners. In the past they could only hear about it.
What is this ball? what is this ball?
This ball is banda bola sports foundation. This ball is bandabola sports foundation.
