“To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world” – Anon
“We must be the change we wish to see in the world.” – Mahatma Gandhi
The voices of those suffering from HIV, extreme poverty, endemic disease and malnutrition are scarcely heard in the global discourse. It seems that the rift between the developing and developed worlds grows bigger every day.
And yet, the paradox is that there is only one world. Every child, every human life, matters.
The only way to begin to redress global iniquities is to translate our belief in universal human rights into the language of action.
This is why we call upon you, whomever you may be, to become part of a new dream.
To become an Ambassador of the Possible.
This is not some abstract, lofty concept. It is infinitely simple
All it requires is a willingness to do your part to help.
The details are entirely up to you!
Your contribution to this possible dream may be through raising funds, spreading awareness, or simply sharing the message of hope with your friends and family.
All over the world, Possible Dreams International has called upon ordinary men and women to become our ambassadors. To raise the banner of hope and share our message of true equity and social justice.
Stories of our Ambassadors
Possible Dreams International have ambassadors all over the world, ordinary men and women like you and I, inspired by the belief that some dreams do come true.
In the United Kingdom, Tessa Edwards , an artist and humanitarian decided that there must something that she could do to bring hope into the lives of the poor.
Tessa is donating the proceeds from all her artwork for 12 months for the work of PDI. With the money Tessa has raised so far, two elderly grandmothers who each have more than 15 AIDS orphans living in their care have been given the gift of 25kg of mealie meal and 60 eggs each month for 2 years… to feed their families.
Below is a video of the lives Tessa’s gift will touch.
In the United States, Brandi Reynolds, a young artist and self described ‘joy-rebel’ decided that she would paint ’love notes’ for the people of Swaziland….to build a bridge of friendship….
