Everyone has their own wishes. If you ask the children about their wishes, it could be about new toys or it could be a wish for less studying to be able to spend more time for playing. If you ask a fresh graduate, the wish would be finding a good job. To some employees, getting higher salary or promotion might be their wishes. In general, the wish may differ from person to person. However, they still have a same common of the desire to have happiness or a better life.
Even though, we have our own wishes, just some of us set them as targets and take action to achieve it. While the others just make a wish and let them passing by. Today, we wont discuss about how to make our dreams come true. In this discussion, we are expecting to hear your sharing about your dreams.
Questions:
1/ Do you usually make a wish on your birthday?
-What is your latest wish?
2/ If you had 5 billions or more tomorrow, what would you do with that?
3/ If you could meet a celebrity tomorrow, who would you like to meet?
- What would you do?
4/ When you were child, did you wish to meet a fairy?
- What would you have done if you had met her?
5/ If you could have a chance to take an adventure into a fairy tale, what fairy tale would you choose? Why ?
- Do you think you will change the endings of the story?
- If yes, how it is going to be?
6/ If there is a place that you wish you could go there before you pass away, where is it?
- Why do you want to go there?
7/ What is the gift that you wish to have?
- Why don’t you buy it by yourself?
8/ If you can be a hero ( real or fiction one), who would you like to become?
9/ What is your craziest wish that you ever thought of ?
- Do you think it could happen? Why?
10/ 2007 is going to end soon while 2008 is just around your front yard. What is your wish for next year?

As we discussed, we can see there are many wishes everywhere. To make a wish come true, it is not easy at all. It even gets tougher for homeless/disable children. There is an organization named KOTO which was established to help those kids achieve their wishes/dreams by helping them get a job. Today, I would like to give you some information about it

KOTO – WHERE DREAMS OF STREET’S KIDS COME TRUE
KOTO is about creating a safe environment where a small group of extremely vulnerable young people can learn and grow - because through education and skills comes empowerment and the path to a brighter future."
Mr Jimmy Pham, KOTO Founder and Director
The concept of KOTO began on the streets of Hanoi in 1996 when an Australian Vietnamese man, Mr Jimmy Pham, asked a group of street kids what they wanted out of life. They simply replied, "we need skills so we can find stable jobs" and so the concept of KOTO was born.
In just five years, KOTO has grown from a small sandwich shop in Hanoi to a 120-seat restaurant and an internationally accredited hospitality program that gives some very special young people the start in life that everyone deserves.
Today KOTO is recognised for its dynamic restaurant and its effective grassroots development project that is breaking the cycle of poverty amongst street and disadvantaged youth in Vietnam.
Street Voices supports the KOTO Hanoi Restaurant and KOTO Training Program by holding fundraising events in Australia and raising the profile of Vietnamese street and disadvantaged youth.
The young people in the KOTO program study hospitality skills and English, and take part in an essential life skills program. They gain practical skills working at the KOTO restaurant.
KOTO graduates complete the program as confident and capable young adults who are able to take control of their own lives. They are highly valued by the hospitality industry in Vietnam and many now work in top hotels and restaurants in Hanoi.
KOTO continues to grow and develop as many more street kids and disadvantaged youth pass through its doors and go onto successful careers. KOTO hopes to become a model that can be adopted elsewhere in Vietnam, Asia and in other countries in need.
