Best Answer
Reading the Wiki page, it says the following:
Finally, the siblings receive help from a young Afghan street vendor selling balloons. He carries all of his balloons on a wooden stick, and has only one balloon, a white one, left. The group attaches a piece of gum to one end of the balloon stick, and with it, they reach down through the grate and pull the money out.
The white balloon is an object which is quintessential to the story line. I do not believe there is anything more to it than that.
