World Wish Day - April 29

In 1978, five-year-old boy Chris Greicius was diagnosed with stage 4 leukemia. Doctors said he had 3 more years to live and he told his mother he wanted to be a cop. In April 1980, officers in Phoenix, Arizona, heard about it and decided to make his dream come true. They had no charity or donations and they managed on their own to recruit a helicopter and take Chris to town to turn him into a cop. Young Chris was a police officer for one day on April 29, 1980. A few days later he was rushed to the hospital and died.

Other people who have heard about it thought that fulfilling wishes for sick children is a great idea. The Make-A-Wish Foundation was founded and has become one of the most well-known charities in the world. The foundation has since fulfilled dreams for more than 250,000 terminally ill children.

Chris' story led to the creation of World Wish Day, the day the police fulfilled his dream. Today there are 48 countries in the world celebrating this day. On this day raise awareness of the importance of contributing to sick children and the fulfillment of their dreams.

If you want to celebrate this day, spread the message on social media, donate money to charity or if you know a sick child, refer him to the organization.

 April 29 is also Zipper Day and International Dance Day

Dreamcatchers coloring pages

 In some Native American cultures, a dream catcher is a handmade object based on a prairie roller with a mesh or loose mesh. The dream trap is then decorated with sacred items such as feathers and beads. The people of Ojiba have an old legend about the origin of the dream catcher. Storytellers refer to the spider woman known as Asivikashi; He took good care of the children and the dry people. Eventually, the land of Ojibwe expanded to the corners of North America, making it difficult for Asibikashi to reach all children. Thus, mothers and grandmothers would study a magical network for children, touching them with prairie rings and sinuses or ropes made from plants. The dreamers would filter out all the bad dreams and allow only good thoughts to enter our minds.

Dream Day - September 25

It's time to sit and relax and enjoy the day of dreams ....

no no! Don't go back to bed! That is not the intention. Dream Day was invented by a lecturer at Columbia University in 2012 with the goal of helping all of us fulfill our dreams and make the world a better place.

(The intention is to make our dreams a reality, not to run away to sleep).

On Dream Day you can organize an event for friends where you will talk about your dreams and how you can make them come true, or you can stay home and dream about what you most want from life.

The intention is a day of planning how to fully realize our potential, or how to fulfill ourselves, not to dreams of the kind of "lose 5 pounds" or "take revenge on my ex"!

So come up with an inspirational dream, plan a sequence of actions on how to make it happen, and help others make their dreams come true as well.

It's so simple and beautiful: all you have to do is ... dream!
