2. Brazil

5. Children on a spree By Oriosvaldo Almeida, Recife, Brazil The children kick plastic bottles as though they were the best footballs in the world. The children kick mouldy cucumbers, screwed up balls of paper and oranges as though they were the best footballs in the world.

6. The children make a goal as though it was the very best and most beautiful in the world. They dribble through life bruise their feet run and attack no-one holds them back. Life for them appears dynamic. Their life is a dream the dream to be one of life’s goal-scorers. The daily dream to be a survivor.

7. I like playing football. I am the goal keeper. I play football in the playground. My favourite team is Corinthians.

9. It’s not right for people to live in bad housing and that’s why it’s important to fight for justice.

10. ‘I have come so that they may have life and have it to the full.’ John 10:10

11. Loving God, As we come together to watch the World Cup, help us to remember all our sisters and brothers around the world. Help us to work together to build a fair world where we are all able to be the best person we can be. Amen
