Darren Barefoot sez, "A very clever idea: instead of wasting the packaging that aid to the developing world comes in, enable it to be folded into a makeshift soccer (or other type of) ball.
However, the children are so poor that they can not buy a football. So, they play football with the ball made of plastic bag or a coconut palm leaves Therefore, giving them their own footballs which can give them hope, is our aim of this project.
Operation Dreamball:
To the children in The Third World; Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi, Somalia, Congo and etc, who can't enjoy football freely because of poverty, war and natural disaster, having a football means a lot and can be a dream and hope to escape from their poor life.
<snip>
We suggest this Dream Ball made of relief boxes delivered to those poor children by recycling.
A. Create patterns that can help making a ball on the surface of an aid box.
B. Activities of giving aid boxes to children in The Third World.
C. The used aid boxes will be recycled as a football by children with the patterns on boxes.
D. By making Dream Ball with the children together, the aid organizations will get the chance to be friendly with them.
Aid box
If children take off the paper from an aid box by following the patterns on it, and assemble those parts with the attached instruction, they can get a football.
We can apply those patterns on any type of boxes - a square type, a cylinder type.
Now, when children get a cylinder type aid box filled with supply, they can move it by rolling that box.
