Drogba interrupted the class and introduced a special ball to the children. The ball in question includes a\u00a0battery that charges when kicked around. You can also attach a fixture to it that will power an LED light. Children can charge the ball while playing with it, and then attach a light to it in order to do their homework in the evenings. After his presentation, Drogba invited the kids to a short football break.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_13993\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13993\" style=\"width: 701px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-13993\" src=\"https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/02\/screen-shot-2016-02-12-at-3-44-12-am.jpg\" alt=\"source\" width=\"701\" height=\"699\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/02\/screen-shot-2016-02-12-at-3-44-12-am.jpg 596w, https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/02\/screen-shot-2016-02-12-at-3-44-12-am-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/02\/screen-shot-2016-02-12-at-3-44-12-am-85x85.jpg 85w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 701px) 100vw, 701px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-13993\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BBgHhqMzAAE\/?taken-by=kitkat\">source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Didier Drogba&#8217;s foundation partnered with Nestl\u00e9 to build a school in his home region of Gagnoa in C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire.
