AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Amsterdam's red-light district will soon get a new attraction: a statue to honor prostitutes around the world.

The statue, designed by artist Els Rijerse, will likely be unveiled at the end of March, Dutch news agency ANP reported.

"In many countries, prostitutes struggle and people have no respect for them whatsoever. The statue is meant to give all those men and women strength," Mariska Majoor, a former prostitute who commissioned the statue, told ANP.

ANP said the statue, made of bronze, shows a woman who confidently looks out into the world.

Dreaminder

Two very good friends of mine, Peep Laja and Sarah Moore, who are also two of the most innovative people I know put their creative minds together and came up with a brilliant idea.



There are 2 main features of this website:

1) Do you know what your dream is? Write it down and tell the site your email adress and when you want to be reminded of it. 10 years or whenever later, you will receive an email reminding you of this dream. How close to that dream do you think you'll be then?

2) Some people are still confused or lost when it comes to what their dream actually is. A nice feature on this site is a questionnaire (Wizard style) that will open up doors for you to know along which lines your vision and dream may fall for you to be able to identify your dream.

If nothing else, this site is a testimony to people who want to do something in order to become someone and a support for those who don't know what to do or need inspiration.
