Dream Ball Project

1. The Aim of Dream Ball Project

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.

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.

2. The Concept of Design

We suggest this Dream Ball made of relife 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.

3. Design and Usage of Material

-The football

In the aspect of material, we considered children

playing football with bare foot.

So, we use paper that can be recycled and its

thickness changes the intensity and elasticity of

the Dream Ball.

- 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 cyliner type.

Now, when children get a cyliner type aid box

filled with supply, they can move it by rolling that

box.

Size

In case of a football, we can make a regular size

football.

Its circumference is between 67cm and 70cm

We can make various size of the football by

changing patterns

The size of a cylinder type aid box includes

35cm height, 21cm diameter and 77cm

circumference.
