The millennium is only nine months away, this is the last Easter in the 20th century. Easter is a time for new beginnings or a fresh start. A time for hope and joy.
I have a dream for the future, that the 2006 World Cup will go to South Africa. Then all the money they raise from all the matches could go to all the poor people in Africa. I hope if South Africa wins the vote for the World Cup the money from the matches will go to refurbish all the poor villages.
King Hussein of Jordan was a peace-maker but he has just died, so I hope there will be more peace-makers like him.
Martin Luther King was another brave man. He stood up to the law and people
who were racists. His campaigns were successful. He helped people to understand it's not the colour of skin, but what's in the heart that matters and I pray that people will continue his work.
