To prepare for this year's United Games program in the Boys' Home, our interns Martina, Andrea and Rike prepared a "Tree of Hope" with the boys -- the idea was to find out what the boys want to become when they grow up and to see how we, as an organisation, can help to bring those dreams to fruition. What began as a simple tree painted on posterboard grew into a collaged tree complete with grass and even a rabbit, courtesy of Martina. Prabhu spoke to each of the boys about what they want to be, and their dreams - ranging from becoming a pilot to a teacher to numerous carpenters and tailors - were written on hands that they had traced, cut out, and coloured. It was a fantastic project, and the boys loved helping with it, from colouring their hands to tirelessly tearing out brown pieces from magazines to then glue on to the tree. Here's hoping we can help even one of those dreams come true.
