All about dreams

Dream is the reason why we live, the reason why we strive and the reason why I became a UNICEF volunteer and UNICEF’s ultimate dream is to make this world a better place and make it a world fit for children.

Two months ago, when I was still an applicant I was asked to write an essay on the theme, why I want to be UNICEF Volunteer Intern? My answer to this question is plain and simple; I want to be the change I want to see in the world. I know those words are not mine but of Gandhi but it is one of my favorite inspiring sayings.

So what’s the connection between change and dreams? Being a change and making a change in this world means that I am able to make my dream turn into reality. Is it not the goal of everyone to make this world a better place? And my way of making this change is through the opportunity that UNICEF and God gave me.

My co-VIPs and I know that this internship is not an easy task. Everyday we are faced with challenges, trials, negative responses, adventures, praises—a roller coaster ride, we could declare. And even though it is a bumpy ride for all of us but through the VIP’s efforts may we be able not only to fulfill our dreams but also be able to influence others to make everyone’s dream come true.
