Dreams can come true for hundreds of underprivileged children in Latin America thanks to Global Dreams USA, a non-profit organization 501 C.3 founded in 2010 (Sueños sin fronteras /dreams without borders). Our primary mission is to support the global exposure and education of underprivileged children in Latin America.
