Our overall goal remains-to provide mutual ass istan ce and colla boration in developing national ca pability to accelerate the participation of girls and w omen in education at all levels in Afri ca . In re sponding to th at goa l in 1995, FAWE-though still a very young organizati on-demonstrated a m ature ca paci ty for mobil izing¡support at national, regional a nd in tern ational levels .

O ur co re membersh ip (A n nex 1) of 44 comm itted wom e n a nd n ationa l chapters in 17 African co un tries is augmented by a n affinity group of 19 African male ministers of education who su p p or t the FAWE mandate of curbing wastage in the ed uca tio n sector. Coll aborative efforts w ith th ese individuals and a n etwork of nationa l, regional and in te rnationa l NGO~ and d onor partners enabled FAWE to establish a soli d ba se for conc re te implementation of our four-part work programme.

2 VISION, MISSION AND OBJECTIVES THE VISION FAWE's vision is to ensu re thai gend e r equi ty is in corporated in to all educational policies and to con tribu te to a broadenin g of the intellectual resource base needed for th e su rv iv al and prosperity of th e African people .

THE MISSION 1. To ensure that policies are im plemen ted in a w ay that ensures gender equity and that where imbalances exist (d u e to h istorical factors or to more recent developments su ch as structural ad jus tmen t), positive and affirmativ e measures are taken to redress them .

2. To ensure unrelenting debate and review of all socia l pol icies. as these ha ve a direct bearing oh h ow education p oli cy is implemented .

Goals and Objectives FAWE's over-arch in g goal, is mutual as sistance and co lla bo ra tion in developing national cap ability to accelerate the participation of girls and w omen in education at all levels in Africa , in line w ith Ed uc ation For An (EFA) goals.

Although EPA goals are d ear, implementation strate gies ar e not. Since the initiation of the EFA movement in 1990. many co un tries have mad e significant progress both in accelerating over all enrolmen ts and dosin g the education gap between boys and gi rls . In contr as t, Africa is on a slow growth path and continues to lag severely behind ev ery other part of the w orld . In this con text FAWE ha s the foll owing specific objecti ves : • To reinvigorate political co m m it m en t to EFA goals by em ph asizing that fully two- thirds of missing eligible school child ren are female .

• To s ti mu late governments, donors and NGOs to increase their i nvestment in education, especially in .a manner that can accelera te Ihe education of girls 011 all levels.

• To co ll ate and a nalyse existing da la for the design of highimpact p ro gra m m e s, laking into acco unt the special needs of female students and teachers .

• To help NGOs expand their support for female edu cation.

• To build p ubli c awareness, through the mass media , of the social and economi c advantages of send ing gi rls 10 sc h o ol.

• To promote w omen' s skills in leadership an d publi c p olicy making in the area of edu cation through targeted ca p ac itybuildin g pro gramm es .

HISTORY HAS MOVED...

Women hat1f now taken charge of their own course. They art' demanding education as a right. as a mlJtter of perso,ud suurity. as an investment in human dignity. Numerous declarations have been passed, many countries IIi1U ratified tltem, but the CHALLENGE IS IN THEIR IMPLEMENT.4.TlOl\'. We must address policy makers .

We must con sider ourselves responsible for implementation .

- Aida Gindy, Senior Educationalist fAWE Education workshop, Dakar, 1994 In the past two and a half years, FAWE ha s become a stron g force on the African co ntinent. It ha s demonstrated its ability to move policy, stimulate experimentation and reach beyond advoca cy to expand access to education and upgrade education quality in difficult financial times . When the UNESCO Director General, Fed erico Ma yor. awarded FAWE the Comenius Medal in late 1994, FAWE recognized this award as a big ch allenge to meet the high expec ta tions alread y demanded. of the young organization.

FAWE's core membership, which comprises African women ministers of ed u cation, Afri can women vice ch a n ce ll o r s and renowned women educationalists, ha s now grown to ~ peTSOns from 26 African countn es. Halso has 19 male ministers of education and vice chancellors who have demonstrated com m itme n t to the ca u se of fema le education as associate members. and National Ch apters in 17 African countries. The chapters comp rise women and men from various sectors who ar e com mi tted to th e promotion of female education in their coun tries .

FAWE members participated in various int ernational conferences and other relevant fora . They used su ch opportunities to hold di scu ssions and enhance membership roles-including representing FAWE. Key a mong such meetings were the Audience Afri ca at UNESCO, the Social Su mmit in Copenhagen, the Fourth UN World Con ference and NCO Forum on Wom~ n in Beijing, DA E working group meetings and th e DAE biennial plenary m eeti ng, the FA\VE vice chanc ellors Zun lve rsity- based members consu ltative meet in g and th e Execu tive Commi ttee meeting (th e latte r two were held in South Africa ). In Sou th Africa, FAWE me mbers were invited to pa rticipate in an int eractive Forum w ith wom en parliamentar ians from all po litical pa rti es in South Africa .

National Chapters Streng then ing of the FAWE national chap ters was a priori ty in 1995. The main goal was to establish common principles of operation. although certain organizational features may Hry from chapter to chapter. FAWE chapters include key actors from a cross-sec ti on of the commu nity whose views need to be incorporated in building local consensus on edu cation policy. National chapters are eligible to compete for project funds under the experimentation a n d demons tration gra nts p rogramme . They also manage the Agathe Uwili ngiy imana Awards scheme .

At the end of 1994, only two cou n tr ies. Seychelles and Ghana . had registered FAWE National Chapters. By the end of 1995-17 co u n tries including Burkina Feso. Zimbabwe, Sierra leone, Gabon, Malawi. Ethiopia and Guinea-had formed chapters, which were all at different stages of obta ining legal status. During 1995, FAWE helped strengthen a number of chapters th rough the award of modest grants . In add ition, a FAWE member was commissioned to visit a number of national cha p te rs either in operation or formation so as to develop a conc ep tual framework and design guidelines for the c reation and management of FAWE national chapters. FAWE cha p ters in Ghana , Burkina Pa so, G ui n ea and Seychelles already ha ve Widely circulated newsletters . The cha p te r in Burkina Paso (AFED) is one of the NGOs given observer status in parliament. Several FAWE members in Kenya were appointed to the National Task Force on Gender and Education . FAWE continued to assist the Association of University women in Uganda with a grant to strengthen their capability to monitor the implementation of reforms to the Uganda education sy stem.

M.de Associate Members Throughout 1995, FAWE consolidated its collaboration and consu ltation with the FAWE Associa te Members-c-the male ministers of educationthrough correspondence and actual visits to six individual cou ntries (Kenya, Botswana . Malawi , Mo zambique, Ghana and Zanzibar). These and other consultations culminated in the participation of 12 male ministers of education in the FAWE presentation during th e meeting of the DAE working Group on Fema le Participation, held in Pa ris in October.

To follow u p the Mauritius Ministerial Consultation on School Drop-Out a nd Teenage Pregnancy, FAWE supported activities in six African countries: Bots wana , Mozambique, Kenya, Ghana . Zanzibar and Malawi. In ea ch of th es e countries , mini stry of edu cation projects were laun ched for in vesti gating the natu re and extent of drop-out from sch ool; documenting an d m onitorin g the p robl e m of adolescent pregnancy; and assessing th e impact of go vernment policies rela ted to reinst ating girls w ho have d ropp ed out.

ACTION BY fAWE MALE ASSOCIATE MEMBERS African m in ist ers of education atte nding the ministerial consultation on sc hool d rop-out and adolescent pregnancy in Mauritius in September 1994 were so perturbed by the lack of deliberate strategies for these serious proble ms. th at they m ade personal commitments to take action and report with in a year.

Th e fol lowi ng a re some of th e ac tions taken by Male Associate Members during 1995: Botswana The Permanent Secre ta ry in the Minis try of Ed u cation, Mr. Pet er Molosi, informed FAWE of th e re view of Botswana 's legi slat ion an d p oli cies with a view to making reali sti c imp rovemen ts in the re-entry to school of girls who have dropped ou t d ue to pregn ancy.

Ghana The Minister for Educa tion. th e Hon . Ha rry Sawyerr, held a national se mi na r on gir ls' education in June 1995 th at not only sensitized education officials on issues affecting girls' education, but also su gges ted strategies fo r inc reasing enrolment and red ucin g drop-out rates .

Kenya T he Min iste r of Ed ucation . H a n . J.J. Kamotho, announced a new gov ernmen t policy that would allow girls who had been expelled beca use of pregn ancy to sit fo r th eir national examinations. Those who passed w ould th ereby be able to con tin u e with education.

STRATEG IC RESO URCE PLA NNI NG Strategic resource planning is one way of promoting gender equity in education. It can be broadly defined as the capability to identify human and finan cial resources, build human resources capacity and allocate those resources most effec ti vely. FAWE m embers realize that the way in which resources are allocated and u sed in the formal education system will determine the proportion of girls and boys gaining access to school at all levels. In o rder to address th e difficult issu es of equity, access, persistence and achie vement . available resources must be efficiently utilized for maximum impact .

The s tra tegic resource all ocation (SRA) pil ot activity was launched in July 1995 in three countries-Ethiopia, Gu inea and Tanzania . The project , headed by Professor Ch ris top he r Colclough of IDS-University o f Sussex (a con sulta nt to FAWE), working with country teams, utilizes national cap acities and second a ry data from m inistries o f educati on , finance and national planning to examine the main ca u ses of low fem ale enrolme n ts relative to th ose of males . The aim is to id entify the most promising policy cho ices in terms of allocating e xisti ng res ources to assist governments in achieving un iversa l primary schooling .

By the end of 1995, the national teams had com ple ted the following four tasks: (1) assembling an overview of previous work and government policies relevant to SRA work; (2) assembling va rious secondary data for input into the simulation models; (3) developing and testi ng instruments for the small qualilative case study survey; and (4) analysing the data .

In addition, FAWE con tin ued to take steps to cre ate esse n ti al linkages between research and th e formulation of education p olicy through s up port to the Uganda Associati on of Univ ersit y Women to monitor the implementati on of the White Paper in Education; to the Gu inea Ministry of Edu cation to monitor implementation of a re-entry policy for adolescent mothers; and in Ethiopia for a stu d y of gender issues as they relate to national education policy.

EXPE RIMENTATION AND DEMONSTRAT ION GRANTS PROGRAMME Un d er th is co m p e t it ive grant s programme , FAWE supports four innovative pil ot in itiatives that can in fl uence female education and inform education policy. Th e id ea is to stim u late e xperimentation in order to identify local measures th at w ould improve school access, academ ic achievement, tea cher trainin g, school safety, school equipment and financial management, am on g other ob jec tives . The programme involv es the FAWE Techn ical Committee, which re views, approves and evalua tes projects.

During 1995, 7 proj ects were com pleted .out of the 14 compe titive grants (co veri ng 11 coun tries and including 3 regional activities) funded in 1994. An additional 9 were approved by the Techni cal Committee, including an advocacy ca m paign project in Kwale di strict, Kenya, to demonstrate a strategy for. m obilizin g a n d dep lo y ing co mm u ni ty co m m it m e n t to increa se g irl s ' parti cipati on in edu cation , and another to co n ti n u e monitoring th e 11

im plementation of the gender-sensitive education po licy in Ugand a , Projects were also approved in Ca me roon and Nigeria to re-aggregate existing d ata on pa rticipation of women in science, mathematics and technolog y. The projects enhance th e research sk ills of female academicians and provide bac kground information for future in terve n tions in tertiary educatio n . A list showing the curren t status of demonstra tion grants is included in Annexe 6 of this report.

An approp ria te d es ig n for the FAW E award s sc h e m e, th e A gathe Uwil ingtyi ma n a Prize for In n ovators, was comp leted d urin g 199¡1. The Agathe Uwiltngiyi mana Prize, named atter FAWE fou nder member. the late Pri me Min ister o f Rwa nda and forme r Minister of Ed uc ation, is awa rded to individuals a nd organizations in recogni tion o f in novative achi eve ment in female education in Africa .

ADVOCACY AND PUBLIC INFORMATION FA\'VE has al .....a ys believed that we must move beyond the co nv e rted to th ose who need to be conve rted , persuaded or indeed emp owered to action .

Advocacy m ust also be root ed in the African con text. The p rimary goal of this compon ent is to ke ep fema le ed uc ati on hi gh on the nat iona l a n d in ternational devel opment agendas, and in the p roce5s to crea te a supportive soci al and policy environment . To thi s end , many im portant ta sks, all geared towa rds d ifferent audien ces, were accomplished or su p ported d uring 1995.

In 1994 FAWE ini tiated a series of co-financed p rojects inten ded to stimu late the incorpora tion of gender Issues into activities of the DAE working groups .

In 1995, the Commonwealth Secretariat, convenor of the Working Group on th e Teach ing Profession, was given a con tinua tion grant to ensure identification of wome n's concerns and their integration into th e Teach er Management and Support System in projects in seve ral African countries, as well as to undertake gender se ns itization of key ed ucation acto rs . As pa rt of th is exercise, FAWE pre-tested a booklet, The ABC of Gender Analysis: A Frameusork of Analysis for the Education Sector. This pamphlet wa s successfu lly used in the Ministry of Education in Kenya to accept or reject school textbooks an d to prov ide cri teria for fu ture selec tion . The Ma lav..-i Min istry of Edu cation is also using it as a guide to strengthen th eir ongoing review of curricu lum, and the Seychelles Gender Team also used it to review school textboo ks. The pam p hle t Wd S tra ns lated into French and pre-tes ted in several franc ophone coun tries.

Th ree key visual a nd audi o products were completed du ring 1'J95. The a ward winnin g FAWE film directed by Michael Camerini, "Th ese Gi rls are Missin g ", was premiered to a large audience in Bei jing . The film d ocu m ent s th e barriers to gi rls ' education in Mala w i and Guinea and provides a fra me work for policy deba te and inte rventions. It was translated int o French and se veral Gu inea n languages . A five- mi nute advocacy po p-video "Send Your Gi rl C h ild To School ". wi th an accompanying song of th e same title on

audio casse tt e w ere produced in English and French . USAID provided su p port to FAWE's Ethiop ia Cha p te r to produce d iffe ren t ve rsi ons in 10 loca l Ethiopian languages .

In pa rtnership with the World Bank/ EDI, FAWE produced two master copies in French and English under the series Information Handoutsfor Practitioners and Opinion lLadas . The first handout, titled Educating Our Daughters: The Key to the Future, targets journalists and aims to sensitize them on the role the media can play in promoting girls' education. The second, Girls' Achievement: The Untold Story, targets head teachers and describes the barriers constrain ing high achievement by girls. In addition, th e join t collaboration with the AA$FEMED Research Project resulted in the publication of th e pictorial album. Girls and Education in Africa: Research and Action To Kerp Girls in School.

FAWE con tin ued to produce its bi -annual Newsletter, in English and French, which su mma rizes a variety of acti vities by FAWE members . FAWE also su p ported sev eral projects designed to write and publish booklets in A full list of the publications th e se ries Profil es of Women Role Models. comp le ted during 1995 is in Annexe 3. Over 5,000 copies were disseminated in English and French .

SPECIAL ACTIVITIES 1. BEIJING: REAFFIRMING FAWE'S AGENDA

THE MESSAGE FROM BEIJ ING Girls' education is urgent and relevant.

Education is th e nexus to improvi ng hea lth a nd the environment, lo w e ri n g popula tion growth and fertility, and promoting basic human rights a nd civil society.

Africa needs education for developmen t tha t is selfgenerating. capacity building and sustainable.

Outing 1995, coord in ation of th e Africa NCO efforts in education for the Fourth World Conference on Women and the NC O Forum was a ke y ar ea of conc en tra tion for FAWE . FAWE had assumed lead e rship in coordina ting acti vities of Africa n NGOs as Chair of the Africa Sub-co mmittee on Educa tio n for the NCO Forum . Beijing was an op por tu nity for FAWE to meet and get to know its consti tuenc y, explore ways in which to build more effective netw orks and partners h ips, find ou t what othe r NG Os are doing in the area of girls' educa tion, a nd p ro vid e information on the support an d se rvices FAWE can offer .

Among the act! ... itics FAWE hosted during the Confere nc e and Forum, some in collab oration with other NGOs, were: •

Interv ening act ivit ies between Da kar and Beijing org anized by th e Subcom m ittee in Nairobi helped to refine the p roducts eve n tua lly presented in Beijin g . The p roc ess of refinement al so drew together e xp er tise not only from Kenva , bu t also fro m co un tries like Mal awi and Gha na . It also hel p ed to raise public a wa reness of the Fourth World Confere nce on Women a nd NGO Forum '95 in pa rticular, and gender issues in general. In add iti on , fu nd -raising acti vities we re orga n ized to d r aw attention to the private sector as pote n tial p a rtners in th e promotion of female ed uca tion in th e con tinent.

Key challenges emerg ing fro m the FAWE sponsored activities included how to: 1. Translate research into action .

2 . Find ways of implementing gender responsive policies.

3. Provide empowering education for both genders .

4 . Devise strategies to reach unreached women and girls, including the disabled, illiterate adults, drop-outs, teen -age mothers and other marginal groups .

Personal com m it men t, creativity, utilization of existing social networks and involve men t of the media (folk and modem) emerged as prerequisites for the s uccessfu l devel opment of fe ma le ed uca ti on in Africa and the promotion of gender eq uity.

2. STRENGTHENI NG FEMALE LEADERSHIP AT THE TERTIARY LEVEL Special Meeting of FAWE Vice Chancellors and Universitv-Based Members In Ma y 1995, FAWE vice chancellors and other university-based members met in Cape Tow n , Sou th Africa, to d iscuss how they cou ld implement th e FAWE mandate at the te rtia ry level and in what wa ys they cou ld m ak e specifi c use of the Africa-wi de Gender In stitute so as to e nha nce polic y resea rch a nd institutional trans formation at the tertia ry leve l. Th ey re viewed a co nce p t p a p er titled " Acc ele ra ting Fema le Part ic ipation in Higher Edu cation in Africa " . The pa per d iscu ssed pos sibl e stra tegies for FAWE to p ursue in h igher ed uc a tio n in ord e r to p romote essen tial ch a nge in the in stit u tional cu lt u re.

Among the thema tic areas iden tified were defining the role of women 's stu dies programmes in trans forming the social environ ment in the wider un ivers ity com m un ity; creating opportun ities for research on issues affe cting girls a nd w omen as p art of th e Research an d Gran ts Commi ttees' work of universi ties ; identifyin g a nd supporting the p romotion of a co re of female leade rsh ip ; co n d uc ti ng research on how to initia te essen tial change in the institu tional cu lt u re of universities; and linking FAWE 's e fforts in tertia ry ed uca tion to the work of the Associa tion of Afric an Un ive rs ities (AAU).

15

A committee was set up to evol ve a concep tu al framework for accelerating and im proving female participation in higher education in Africa . The result w as th e indusion in the FAWE 1996 Work Programme of a com pone n t on strengthening female leadership at th e tertiary level.

Africa -wide Gender Institute; Equal O p portuni ties Research Pro jed Du ri ng 1994, FAWE ass isted the Equa l O pportu nity Research Project (EORP) at th e Universi ty of Ca pe Town to hold Africa -wide cons u ltation s to provide ba ckground informati on for p oli c y d evel opment o n th e establishment of an Africa-wid e Cender Institute (AC I). In 1995 FAWE jointly w ith EO RP s upported a one-da y cons u lt ative workshop to discu ss the findings of the 1994 co nsu ltatio ns and determine the via bility of the AGI. Besides reviewing the goals and objectives of the institute, the w orkshop concentra ted on identifying additional p riorities that participants felt shou ld be add ressed un der the following th e ma t ic a reas : ins t itutional tra nsformation; research ; w omen and leadership development; resources; documentation and linkages; and how to link with francophone Africa . It was unanimously accepted at the workshop that the most logical approa ch woul d be to link th e AC t with a sy stem of existing associated institu tes tha t would play different but complementary roles . The AGI should strengthen its local base and decentrali ze a ctivities by utili zing exi sting ca paci ty in va rious parts of Africa . The development of con tin en tal linkages and ne tw or ks was viewed as nt.'Ct>ssary to encourage dialogue and in format ion exchange.

3. DAE: BUILDING PARTNERSHIPS Special Mission In 1995. FAWE con ti nued to wo rk closely with the Association for the Development of Afri can Education (DAE) and in particular the Working Gro up on Fema le Participation in Edu cation. FAWE un de rtook a special fund raising m ission to som e members of th e Working Group. notably the Wor ld Bank and USAID in Wash in gton , a nd the Rock efeller Foundation in New York . FAWE members al so m et with other N ew York- b ased partners , incl uding UN ICEF, the Carnegi e Corporation, the Ford Foundation, UN IFEM and UNDP. As a result of th e rrussion, FAWE was able to expand its network of coll aborators and ga in commitme n ts for ad d itio n al financial support from se ver al quarters .

16

Female Education in Mat hs a nd Science (FEMSA) Pro ject FAW£ contin u ed co lla bo rat ion w ith th e DAE Working Group on Female Pa rticipation Sub-committee on Girl s in Science and Mathematics hod b)' NORAD, in the FEMSA (Fema le Ed u cation in Mathematics and Scien ce) Project . FAWE organ ized a mee ting in January 1995 in which rep resen ta tive s of NORAD, the Rockefeller Founda tion and th e Africa n Academy o f Sciences Prog r a m m e on Researc h Pri o ri ti e s for Gi rls and Women in Afr ica , p a rticipated . Throughout 1995, fAWE also provided techn ical in p u ts to FEMSA by ' • advising the steering committee on the participation of fou r FAWE member co u n tr ie s (Ghana , Uganda . Tanzania and Camero on) in FEMSA proje cts;

•

•

advising FEMSA on the specific needs of FAWE members with regard to technical assistance in areas related to teacher education programmes in mathematics and science (four FAWE members sit on the project committee); and undertaking financial management of FEMSA through its fiscal age nt, Price Waterhouse.

4 LOOKING FORWARD: SHARPENING FAWE'S VISION June 1996 will mark th e beginning of th e third ye ar s inc e FAWE w as registered as an international NCO. Membership has grown to 44 ministers of education, vice chancellors and o ther sen ior w omen policy makers representing 26 coun tr ies. An affinity group of 19 ma le ministers of education and permanent secretaries now exists . There are now 17 national chapters at va rio us stages of growth. FAWE ha s truly es tablished Itself as a formi da ble new force on the African education scene, and w ith that growth, FAWE has sharpened. its vision of how to support girls and women in Africa to acquire ed uc ation for development. The elements of the Work Programme are gradually emerging from a broad scope of activities and collabo rative efforts w ith national and international partners. FAWE will now be focusing on strategic Tl'S()IJTCt' planning

through strengthening its membership, strategic allocati on of ed ucational resources, advocacy and public information, preventing wastage, bui lding capacity for research, management and policy making at the tertiary level, and building networks for change.

With the political co mmit ment of its members, sound concepts from research and concrete examples of what can be done, it is hoped that core members, ministries of educati on and FAWE national chapters will:

• • • • •

18

pers uade governments to implement strategic resource planning and subsume responsibility for ensuring gender equity in their policies as part and parcel o f what they do; have the ca paci ty to generate reliable statistics and up-todate gender-differentiated national data; establish and maintain resource centres with literature and basic data on girls' education; target advocacy for policy development in educalion using relevant and practical tools; and establish upstream channels between ministries of education and other key actors in education as well as downstream linkages with community groups, parents, teachers and youth associations through which to implement sensitization, dissemination and advocacy efforts.

FAWE ha s com m iss ioned consultan ts to visit FAWE me mber coun tries w ith operationa l Na tional C hapte rs to draw up thei r speci fic requirements and develop guidelines on the establishment and running of these National C hap te rs .

This exercise has not ye t been completed . It was not therefore possible to ho ld meetings and workshops for the National Chapters. The firs t of these meetings is sched uled to be held during 1996.

Update The main roles of FAWE nati onal chap te rs a re to undertake advoca cy, in formation gathering and dissemination, and to seek innovative str a tegies for intervention on female ed ucation . A chap te r must be com m itt e d to eliminating gender disparities in the ed ucatio n sec tor. Among the advantages associated with th e creation of national cha pte rs is that of in s titutionalizing FAWE conce rn s in member coun tri es.

DARE TO MAKE IT

We are all equal, God made us all,

Boys, Girls, Men and Wome n.

We all h av e a purpose, A goal to fulfil.

Daring to make it!

The key to a successful life.

Is a sou nd edu cati on, From an early age, We a re sent to sc hool; To go and gain knowledge, To help u s lead s uccessfu l lives, Daring to m ake it!

Boys an d Girls; We a re all gi ve n the sa me op portu nities , At sch ool, we ha ve a va riety of subjec ts; Fro m Arts, to Sciences, to Languages.

Th us, we da re to make W Why is it th en that girls ta ke th e eas y wa y out?

Or at times give up?

We a re as good as boys .

Ma y be even better!

So let's dare to make it , And make ou r dream s realities.
