Hope. The program was launched Aug. 24 in Arlington,
Texas.
Thousands of children in after-school programs in

next six months are creating the Soaring Dreams
expression of hope and opportunity, a
40,000-square-foot painting that will envelop one of
the nation's largest lighter-than-air ships: The
Ameriquest Soaring Dreams Airship.
Soaring Dreams Airship will conduct a national tour in
2005, serving as airborne ambassador to hopes and
dreams of children across the country and around the
world.
Purpose: To promote community development through
education and public outreach, providing children in
after-school programs an opportunity to engage in
planning, teamwork, and collaboration on a historic
project with national and international impact.
