The First Year
To the friends of the Dreams Campaign, we're hoping that you started this new year on a bright note. We've also started on a bright note, and we've set some high expectations to this year. You will hear more about that later, but for now, let us take you through the amazing things we got to do last year.
March 2010,
The Dreams Campaign officially started. It became more than just a dream, and plans were made for April.
April 2010
The Dreamers visited a home in Ruai just near the outcast of Nairobi called 'Made in the Streets'. The home takes in street kids and educates them untill they are able to solely upkeep themselves.The Dreamers brought with them clothes and food to the home, and played an engaging basketball match with the kids. There were a couple of kids who were mentored because they had special gifts e.g. musicians, painters and models.
August 2010
The next event, this time the Dreamers visited a Imani Children's Home situated in Kayole East in Nairobi. The home takes in children from 1 day old, untill they're around 18 years old. Because of the high number of kids in the home, the home was blessed with another piece of land. On that piece of land, they've built another home to cater the older kids. The Dreamers helped with day to day chores, relieving the workers of their duties, so the workers could have a day off. The Dreamers also donated clothes to the kids to spice up their August holiday.

December 2010
On December 28th the team visited Little Rock, situated in Kibera (which is the 2nd largest slum in Africa, after Soweto). Little Rock is a children's daycare centre, which opened it's doors 7 years ago and up to this day it caters for 600 kids each day. The centre also functions as an early education centre. The centre has a programmer who cares for the disabled kids, since there are no institutions that cater for such kids elsewhere. The day the Dreamers were there, they held a soccer clinic for the kids. The clinic turned out to be a great experience for the kids, it helped them enjoy the festive season since their Christmas holidays usually have less highlights. The team donated food, and they had some snackbites with the kids.

Thanks to all the people who have supported The Dreams Campaign in any small or big way. We hope you keep following and supporting us this next year!
