In excess of 80,000 people joined in the New Year celebrations at Federation Square to witness a world first event where thousands of Dream Seeds
containing wishes from children across Victoria and Japan were dropped from the night’s sky in amazing shower of lights. The Lord Mayor John joined dream seed artist Kyota Takahashi and Save the
Children supporters in the release of over 20,000 wishes from ballons 100 metres above the crowd.Since October, Dream Seeds were collected from school children across Victoria as well
as families and visitors who participated in program workshops. Funds raised will go directly to Save the Children’s life-skills, nutrition and early childhood development
programs in Australia and overseas. Please click here for more information on Save the Children
