Is sport a fundamental component of children’s ed- ucation? Does sport equip children with basic life skills? At Save the Dream, our answer is “yes”. We passionately believe that the positive role of sport is vital for our youth; for society. This is supported by extensive studies and analysis, and by leading international institutions who have also unanimously and enthusiastically said “Yes!” The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), guardian for human rights, agrees, as does UNESCO, promot- er of world’s education, and UNICEF, universal protector for children’s development. Our mandate has been developed from this belief and our strength to act upon it Is our driving force. Throughout the past two years as reviewed in this document, we have done our utmost to ad- vance access to sport for youth across several continents, including Latin America, Asia, Europe and the Middle East.

For the first time, a single society found itself to be responsible for the entire known world. That it was, in the end, not equal to the task is hardly surprising. That it managed this task for so long, however, is nothing short of astonishing. Indeed, what Rome did has so astonished the western world that we have been attempting to rebuild it ever since. Many other nations and peoples have attempted to become "the empire" in Rome's place. We maintain that, whether willingly or not, America is today busily occupied in playing Rome. What we hope to present are the points of similarity between us and them, and what lessons the Roman experience might hold for our future. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Abstracts of Presentations (Alphabetical Listing by First Author) Abraham, Gency, DONNE AND MODERN MEDICINE, Dr. Clinton Brand, English A new trend in medical education involves Literature and Medicine courses that a handful of medical schools have applied to their curriculum. There is a great need for such an approach to education in our contemporary society where medicine has been dehumanized. Literature has been shown to enrich the medical profession and individuals. The ability to reflect especially in light of suffering is rewarding for all but crucial for a physician.
