If only the funds were available. In a world where ... 4 121 million children (28 million in Pakistan) have no opportunity to attend primary school     (UNICEF) 4 Two-thirds of the world's 799 million illiterate adults aged 15 and over are women 4 More than 20,000 people die every day as a result of extreme poverty (THE END OF POVERTY -      Jeffrey Sachs) 4 Half the world — nearly three billion people — live on less than two dollars a day (Anup Shah)     ... surely funds are available to bring hope to the poor!   We dream of a world where children can just enjoy being children The exuberant children at the Miracle Ministries' school for the families of brick kiln workers We dream of a world that cares for the forgotten and the downtrodden Children at the CGA Home for Special Children We dream of a world where young people have a future to dream about Dennis (front, right, with his family) has a scholarship to study accountancy. His dream is to serve his community. We dream of a world where everyone who has too much shares with those who have too little Meal time at the Abba Home for the children of broken homes We dream of a world where God's love touches the lives of his children   Dreams come true! The Light School, Youhannabad This school was struggling to survive without any any help -- uable to pay reasonable salaries to the teachers, it was about to close. A small and regular subsidy from Starfish Asia in 2012 enabled the school to stay open and increase class numbers and teachers' hopes.   We know can't help them all -- but we surely must help some!
