<p>One person can make a difference and create lasting change in the world. Your impact on a single person can result in a ripple effect felt far and wide. Tom Tuohy shares the true story of Dreams for Kids, the global nonprofit youth organization he founded in 1989. This is a story of hope and empowerment and transformation. During one of the most challenging times in human history, when so many people are seeking a sense of fulfillment and a reason to hope, this book gives you the inspiration you need to act and do your part one person at a time. We all have felt the pain of isolation. We all have lost someone. By recalling those moments when we feel most alone, we can relate to kids who feel that way every moment of their lives. And then we can do something. In reading stories of at-risk young people who have been given opportunity and used that gift to help others, we are filled with hope and the inspiration to place our own lives in perspective. Most importantly, we are motivated to engage and make our contribution, and truly be the change we wish to see in the world. Within this book is also a new model of engagement, one that will end the isolation of a generation of young people living in poverty, or with disabilities, and engage them as leaders in a new world. This book may empower you to see your own life in a different way, and inspire you to recognize the great possibilities of our time. There is courage and determination in this story, and there is a common thread that connects every single one of us to it. It is the reminder that we all matter and that the greatest change can come from the most unlikely source. If you ever wonder what you could do to make a significant difference, this book will remind you that your contributions can make all the difference in the world.</p>

<p>This is the story of Dreams for Kids. It is a story of compassion, acceptance, and love-the innate qualities of a dolphin. Dreams for Kids began at the request of a very special woman and is sustained by mentors who have empowered and positively influenced more than 20,000 children. These individuals have changed, perhaps even saved, entire communities. They serve as an enduring example that one person truly can make a difference in our world and can produce an astounding living legacy. The moving, real-life stories of children who have been given an opportunity to achieve what they thought impossible, takes us on a journey of courage and determination.</p>

If you are one of the fifteen million or so expected visitors to Thailand this coming year, or an expat interested in moving to the country, this book is a must for you. The book is divided into ten chapters, each one detailing some of the virtues as well as common misconceptions about living and working in Thailand. Common questions asked by visitors are also dealt with: why do Thais walk so slowly? Why do they like spicy food? Why are they always smiling? Why does nothing seem to upset them? Towards the end of the book, a series of blogs discuss deeper aspects of living and working in Thailand e.g. the state of Thai education, cross-cultural communication, the Thai floods, marriage to a Thai, and the way the Thai riots in 2010 were presented by the foreign media. If you are planning to spend any length of time in the country and really want to understand the Thai modus operandi, this book will give you a great insight into the uniquely Thai way of thinking and being.
