Through innovative experiential learning, The Foundation strives to empower kids to believe in themselves and their dreams!

Our goals include creating and distributing innovative multi-media educational material that builds self-esteem, creates opportunities for learning and growth in the areas of literacy and wellness. All print and multimedia educational materials that we produce support child empowerment theory, enhancing children’s ability to solve their own problems and to realize that the real magic lies within us all. This is achieved through support for the:

· research and evaluation of existing multi-media educational resources on the topics of problem-solving and self-esteem building in young children available in the home or classroom;

· design and production of various kinds of educational materials ranging from picture books, print Braille books and reading books to curriculum guides, audio programs, and video/television programming;

· development and production of new educational media forms including Web, Internet technology, online gaming, interactive toys and other evolving media forms;

· distribution of no or very low cost children’s education materials designed to empower children and developed for various programs that work with disadvantaged children including: shelters for homeless children, head start programs, schools, pre-schools and other facilities serving disadvantaged children

    DreamDog has quietly, for the last 10 years, given great service to the children of Alexandria, and very much deserves recognition for the effort by Lorraine Friedman to encourage literacy and good health for children.

    The DreamDog Foundation was recently awarded a "Health Hero" award from UnitedHealth and Youth Services America (one of only six designations in the state of Virginia). We are honored by the designation and to help spread our healthy messages produced two "Kids Empowering Kids" videos with students at a local Title 1 school. Students were involved every step of the way, writing the lyrics to the songs, creating the art used in the video and staging the dance moves and shots for the video. The Mayor of Alexandria, William D. Euille and Superintendent of Alexandria Public Schools, Dr. Mort Sherman came by to sing on the video and empower children in our community to make healthy choices. Please visit our website and check out the new "Kids Empowering Kids" videos!
