Oneworld-futbol-ghana
Summary:
Tim Jahnigen isn't an engineer and he doesn't have a fancy business degree — but that hasn't stopped him from bringing an invention to market that's changing the lives of millions of children around the globe.As the effects of his invention ripple outward, Jahnigen has advice for other inventors mulling over an idea they want to realize.


Major Concepts:
1. The ball, since it's made of Styrofoam, it reduces pollution. Therefore when they make the ball, they not only reduce pollution but also they make it efficient
2. It can be used in any type of terrain. This way they don't have to modify the game just so that they keep the ball safe.
3. With one buy, they donate one ball to poor kids. This way not only they poor kids benefit from it the, company, and the people buying it gain from this buy.

Strengths:
1.Durable-it lasts long even in the worst condition.
2.Any Terrain- it can be played with anywhere, anytime.

Problems:
1.They become over protective because they think it belongs to them.
2. Expensive- although it is given to them for free, they never mention the price.

Discussion Question:
1. would it be available to all poor kids?
2. If it's undeflatable, how do you take it abroad?
