Dream a Difference
A poetry website connecting small schools or informal learning centres internationally where communities are facing the challenges and/or consequences associated with war, conflict, loss and displacement.
So I sing to all the children out there
Stay true and honest, know somebody cares,
Come lift your hands to the sky when you’re falling down
When there’s a cloudy sky, I know the sun will come out
And the day is dawning and I know we’re gonna survive
Chorus from a song written by Brilliant Sango ( 1990 – 2007)

“This project is really helpful for the children and very different from the psycho social support. This project has shown me that the children themselves are ready to reach out to other children, they are very empathetic and the children expressed hope and encouragement to others despite the fact that they too are grieving and have experienced trauma they have shown that they still can care for others.”
