Israeli border policeman and Palestinian protesters argue during a demonstration in support for dozens of Palestinian hunger strikers in Israeli jails, outside Ofer military prison, near the West Bank city of Ramallah, Wednesday, June 11, 2014. A day before the start of the World Cup in Brazil, protesters dressed up in the jerseys of the Palestinian football team and kicked a ball around outside Ofer, an Israeli lockup in the West Bank. A group of helmeted soldiers prevented them from advancing. Troops fired stun grenades and pushed some of the players who dribbled and kicked the ball over the heads of soldiers.

In this November 2013 photo provided by the One World Futbol Project, a school girl holds a blue One World Futbol at a school in Mawlamyine, Myanmar. The ball was part of a larger donation of 5,000 plus balls to the country. When Lisa Tarver and husband Tim Jahnigen set out four years ago to distribute their indestructible blue soccer balls to areas in need across the world, little did they know how far the project would evolve in just four years, in the span of a single World Cup cycle. Their One World Futbol project has shipped more than 850,000 soccer balls to organizations worldwide, touching the lives of some 30,000,000 children, many of whom would never have had access to such equipment or would have come up with their own version of a ball.
