“Every child should have the ability to hope, to dream. Many do not. Too many children live with the harsh reality of poverty, hunger, lack of education, parental loss, AIDS, war and death. These children cannot see beyond the struggle of each day, much less dream. The Dream Project is working with one child at a time to restore Dreams to those who have no hope.”
