Actress and children’s advocate Anne Curtis’ passion project, Dream Machine, grants dreams to children and families in Puerto Princesa, Philippines. The latest initiative benefits 638 children and families, continuing the project’s focus on turning small hopes into tangible support.
Dream Machine began about nine years ago, with Curtis describing it as anchored on the belief that no dream is too small and that people should not feel ashamed of what they hope for. Both outlets report that the project “continues to grind,” framing its ongoing work as a steady effort to generate joy, hope, and inspiration across communities. The coverage aligns on the scale of the Puerto Princesa effort and the project’s long-running purpose, with the sources emphasizing Dream Machine’s continuity and community impact rather than detailing specific types of dreams or grants.
