Here is what I wrote: "The purpose of the Make a Wish Foundation is to grant the wishes of children with Life-Threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experiences with hope,strength and joy. Le Cirque du Soleil high standard of ethics embraces the best that life has to offer us : courage, love, respect and understanding through a multi-cultural approach. I am writing to see whether you are willing to extend a hand of friendship and humanity towards these children by giving one free-show to --- (numbers at your discretion) accompanied by another person and thus making a matinee filled with magic and joy for these children. The Valentine's Day can perhaps be the appropriate day of Love for these children by granting them a wish to come true. I am available to discuss this further with you at your convenience. Thank you for taking the time to read this letter" Crossed fingers, I hope they will respond generously. I'll keep you posted. :D I spoke with the Make a Wish Foundation’s State Manager and I sent an e-mail to “Le Cirque du Soleil” this morning.

I've always been a firm believer in a persistant attitude when it comes to desires- in fact one should have such confidence that they can even challenge the world to bring forth any obstacles because one will realise, if they truely believe, nothing will sway them, and every set back actually sets you up for tomorrow. It's amazing the different people in the this world. I've always been in this category, but many people i know aren't. They have big dreams and big plans but never actually do anything. They don't stand up and go for it. Reminds me of an old story a friend told me. He said, there was once a really drunk father with two sons. He drank everyday and paid on interest to his children after his wife left. These two grew up and went there seperate ways. Years later they met. One was the same town's drunk.. Barely living and begging for money constantly for alcohol. The other son, went off into the world and came back a very successful businessman. When someone asked, how the two ended up so differently, the one said, my father was a drunk. The second said the same, my father was a drunk, and i didn't want to be like him. You decide your future. You hold the key to the world regardless of your situation, and you can do it. Just believe. No matter what. Thank you for being. Yajna Dearest Paulo and friends,
