My name is Paulo. I am 14 years old. I live in Impanje Village in Salima district Malawi. I am an orphan of HIV/AIDS. I live with my 13 year old sister Dolika who is epileptic and my 8 year old brother Kolesi. Our father abandoned us after our mother died of HIV/AIDS. We are now under the care of our 80 year old grandmother.
I want to tell my friends in America how we make a soccer ball.
1. You take an old blanket.
2. Rip the blanket into strips.
3. Tie the strips together to make longer strips of fabric.
4. Weave the strips of fabric into a ball shape.
5. Wrap the ball with an old plastic bag.
6. Wrap the plastic ball with more blanket strips.
7. You will get a Malawian soccer ball.
I play soccer with my friends and today I played with soccer Master Isa, see pictures.
Question from Isa to FBMS students.
1. Try to make and play with Paulo's Malawian soccer ball.
2. Share your experience on the FBMS or Green Board blog.
HI this is adam and Tom p we are students attending seventh grade. We recently read your stories about Malawian soccer balls. Those soccer balls are really great and interesting. The soccer balls where we live are made from durable rubber. Another common sport we play is basketball. The object of basketball is to get a ball in a basket while the opposing team tries to defend you. This is our first post but defeninatly not the last.
