To fulfill a dream is one of the most important experiences of our lives. After all, what is all this about? Why are we here? To live in a routine? I don’t  know about you, but I cannot live like this. So, I live to realize my dreams. But for me, also and just as important, is to help fulfill the dreams of other people. And that’s what I came here to share with you.

Here in Brazil, I am part of a social project called “Sonhando Juntos” (in English: Dreaming Together). We are a group of volunteers who, once a month, spends three, to four hours in public hospitals working with children in cancer treatment, among other life-threatening illnesses. Here’s the FB link to that page; https://www.facebook.com/sonhandojuntos

We have the following goals: to bring education, recreation, entertainment, and lots of joy, love and attention to our little warriors. We are also the ears the shoulders for the families of the children, because children are hospitalized for a long time in hospital, and their families need friends. The work is extremely enriching and rewarding.  Volunteers feel a strong sense of purpose.

Our true goal, through the activities which we apply with the kids, is find out what are their big dreams and desires. What matters to us is not material, we don’t want to identify what are the toys that they like. We are hunters of unforgettable moments!  So we identified through drawings, jokes and conversations which are theirs desires, and once discovered, we have assembled a team to accomplish, by surprise, a great moment.
