DONG KURN LEE'S MESSAGE
We will Make Dreams Real by giving children hope and a chance at a future. We will Make Dreams Real by bringing clean water to their communities, and by this I mean not only providing safe water to drink but creating the sanitation projects that keep children healthy. We will be as proud of building public toilets as we are of supplying drinking water, because by improving sanitation, we preventwater from becoming contaminated, and we avoid so many needless deaths.
We will Make Dreams Real by giving children the chance at health through improving their environments and their access to care. So much can be done to keep children healthy, with so little: mosquito nets, rehydration salts, vitamins, and vaccines. And so much can be done with just a little bit more: a trained birth attendant, a simple clinic, a school feeding program, a visiting nurse. These are simple and direct ways to save children's lives.
And in 2008-09, we will Make Dreams Real by making sure that more children have a chance to go to school, because it will only be through education that the deadly cycle of poverty can be broken.
