From Soweto’s streets, young voices came,
And history would not stay the same.
They stood for dignity, hope and right,
And turned their courage into light.
Today’s African child now carries that flame,
Dreaming boldly, refusing the same.
With minds that create and hearts that lead,
They hold the power to shape what we need.
Inspired by the past, yet looking ahead,
By purpose and possibility they are led.
Through unity, learning, and daring to try,
Their dreams can grow and rise high.
For a better tomorrow begins today,
In every child who chooses their way.
The future is written by hands that believe,
And Africa’s children can dream and achieve.
HAPPY INTERNATIONAL DAY OF THE AFRICAN CHILD!!
