It is true that when we fulfill one of our dreams, we begin to believe that more are possible. I got to this thought because I was wondering what it meant for our Theater of Dreams kids to be part of the World Cup Trophy tour to Malawi and to be at the same function as our president.
I know that when I was their age, I would have given anything to be part of such an occasion.
…To our team [Chisomo Idea] even more important than the occasion itself is the courage of one of our friends, Mzithembi Mbekeani. Thembi had never met the Theater of Dreams kids before this occasion but she believed that they are worth this life-time opportunity. She believed that in the midst of all the discouragement that these kids go through, in the midst of all their pain, one day of such fine memories could mean the world.
People like Thembi are the reason we have the courage to dream at all. They capture the essence of our movement–the young and young at heart who will do anything to use their time, talent, resources and influence to make a difference in the lives of the marginalized.
Once again, remember, it is not about how much you have, but what you do with what you have…
