When work is about dreams coming to life

In the book, "The Prophet", Kahlil Gibran talks about work and realization of dreams:

"But I say to you that when you work,
you fulfill a part of earth's furthest dream,
assigned to you when that dream was born,
and in keeping yourself with labor,
you are in truth loving life,
and to love life through labor
is to be intimate with life's inmost secret."

If this is how work is defined, I then believe that the VIP 2005 is hard at work, that we are working for a dream, and that we are embracing life. There is purpose in what we are doing. There are dreams coming to life.

I am still a student and my resources are few but to help is to find ways one can reach out to others. UNICEF gave me this opportunity and now, my summer has a meaning.

We may still be chasing our dreams but our hopes will never fade.
