Dear Friends
Today; while writing this letter I heard about the tragic disaster faced by Leah. It is really shocking and heart-rending.
It again raises the same question what are we doing? Are we on the right path of development? If we analyze the
statistics of our developments and its results; the numbers are not very encouraging.
Still 20% of world’s population is undernourished. Only 20% of the total population enjoys the so called development and
rest is chasing the same. If 20% of the so called development can change the climate so much, think what will be the
results if the 100% of the world comes under so called developed. I think we need to redefine our definition of
development.
In last few decades capitalists made a blind run chasing money without thinking about others. This run resulted into dark
future. Today when I read and think about this planet’s future, I really go blank. Wake up fast to save our future. Now
there is no time to rest, we all need to work hard to reverse the situation.
Individuals need to come forward and understand their responsibility towards the society. We all have to work together
with more responsiveness and result oriented. I have a great respect for those who work of all not for themselves.
Anyway, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the friends, philosophers and supporters who supported us.
Dreams in its second year had shown remarkable progress in activities. In the last twelve months we have successfully
launched few new initiatives, which we believe will create a movement of change in the society.
We would also like to specially thank government bodies and media for their positive support in our mission.

About Organization:
The Dreams is Ahmedabad based not for profit organization working on ground level to create a movement in the minds
of individuals for better society by changing the thought process from self centric to society centric.
In last two year Dreams had built up a strong foundation for creating a state of art institution. It will support innovative
ideas and theories to face the coming up socio-economic challenges. It will also help society in sustainable development
by creating awareness about individual’s responsibilities towards society and helping individuals to become more socially
responsible.
After two years of Journey now we are at a juncture where we need to expand our reach. We are constantly looking for
the new channels to reach to larger mass with the help of all the forms of media.
