dare to dream

Posted on Jun 10th, 2007 by Lex : mandirigma Lex
to dare and dream, to be allowed as such is a privilege. to have it in actuality is a gift (and that blows my mind away).

*****

for the past 3 days, we had our first camp for underprivileged kids (yee-haw!). the kids enjoyed the time in camp -- swimming, painting, orienteering, baking, dancing, etc... seeing that life can be beyond their urban settlements.

i thought that this wasn't possible at this point in time. i thought that i would be creating this camp when i'm settled, around 40 years old, living the "good" life. what i didn't see that i'm actually living a good life, no, make that a great life and i can do this camp is now. (wow.)




from all the times that i was down and wanted out of this, i thank the people who stood by me (you know who you are). to all those who donated money for this camp -- you have made a difference. to the owners, the people who supported and volunteered, the people who allowed the kids to participate, and most especially the kids, i am in boundless gratitude.

who you are to me is courage, inspiration and power. thank you.
