When there is hope, life become meaningful….
A dream is a wish your heart makes…
I came across this interesting international organization called “WORLDWISH” which touched my heart and inspire me to work on this meaningful cause in the future. I was offered a free complimentary FORTUNE magazine and thats how i found out about Worldwish. Most of us heard about WorldVision before and it’s well known event of 30 hour famine. WorldWish is totally different approach in reaching out and offering hope to children worldwide. The foundation grant the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human
experience with hope, strength and joy.
The First Wish
The creation of the Make-A-Wish Foundation was inspired in the U.S. in 1980 by the fulfillment of a wish of a 7-year-old boy with leukemia named Chris Greicius, who wished to be a policeman. His mother, several friends and a group of police officers, with the cooperation of the Arizona Department of Public Safety, granted his wish with a custom-made uniform, helmet, badge, and helicopter ride!
The First “Make-A-Wish” Child
The magical relationship the Make-A-Wish Foundation has formed with Disney on a global scale began with Frank “Bopsy” Salazar, the first official wish child. Like Chris, he was a 7-year-old boy in the U.S. who was diagnosed with leukemia and revered people in uniform. The Foundation set out to grant his wish to be a firefighter, and thanks to wonderful support from our Disney friends, more fun was in store for his magical wish!

I’m disappointed. Hope Worldwish will come to Malaysia real soon. Meanwhile, more information can be obtain via http://worldwish.org

thank you for finding this organisation. For a long time we supported the Make A Wish foundation here in Australia. It is just so uplifting to see the joy and wonderment for these children who are just so brave and inspirational to the rest of us.
