I have noticed that in poorer communities, especially in developing countries, kids turn to the sport of soccer for exercise and play. The sport is a universal outlet of joy and distraction from the harsh reality of poverty. However, a lot of times kids' soccer balls get irreversibly punctured, or sometimes they don't even have a soccer ball to play with at all, and instead kick around plastic bottles, and the game is halted until someone can find another expensive ball. The soccer balls are not durable enough to play with in harsher regions for long periods of time, and when the ball is punctured, the kids have to stop playing.
