Rachel Corrie’s Dream At the age of 10, she wrote: "My dream is to end hunger by the year 2000; my dream is to provide opportunities for the poor; my dream is to save the 40,000 people who die every single day. My dream can and will come true if we all look toward the future and see the light shining there." 💔 However, she died tragically at the age of 23 after being run over by an Israeli bulldozer while attempting to protect a Palestinian family’s home on March 16, 2003.
