Let Us Dream Story
A journey of transforming dreams into action
LET US DREAM is a locally rooted and globally established Not-for-Profit Organization. It was conceived with the idea to create holistically developed communities world over. It has strived for this since its inception. We, at LET US DREAM, firmly vouch in the idea of a global family, where each individual and each society works interdependently to create a sustainable world.
The program is composed of likeminded people from all ethnic groups around the world to support, guide, and lead this vision of holistic development in the growth of individuals and the society.
LET US DREAM operates using an impactful and effective community-based working model that join people together while also bridging community organizations together. LET US DREAM aids, nurtures, and hones the untapped potentials of individuals in the psycho-social leadership aspects of life.
Our Six Unique Projects
Let Us Dream accomplishes this vision through its transformative initiatives
Goals, Vision, Mission & Core Values
Mahatma Gandhi's philosophy of "Be the Change you wish to see in the World" has been our motto and a guiding principle since our inception. The LET US DREAM team has always been inspired by the quote of the Saint of the Gutters, Mother Teresa: "What we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But if that drop was not in the ocean, I think the ocean would be less because of that missing drop."
Inspired thus, LET US DREAM extends an invitation to every individual to join this global community in order to raise and uplift our societies to progressive and better living standards so that we and the generations to come may reap the benefits of the seeds we sow today. Each of us is called to act as a catalyst to positively impact another person in our life's time. Each of us has the power to foster positive change, which will have a spiralling impact to make the world a better place.
Empowering Communities
The story behind our mission and the visionary who started it all
The LET US DREAM organizational culture is rooted in the universal human values after the vision of St. Kuriakose Elias Chavara, that is, the integral formation of a person and commitment to the society. We as humans have so much to offer to the society. Success of each individual, strengthens and acts as foundation for the society to grow in. We believe humanity to be one global family, tied together, where our excellence and holistic success as an individual or as a society is interdependent on each other.
Finding his own confidence through music, Father Reverend Lijo Thomas Pathickal, CMI, wanted to assist people to help children who are under confident, shy and struggle to showcase their capabilities. The drive to share his insights with others like him and helping them realize their full potential led him to forming the DREAM Program.
The Project gradually expanded but the turning point came in 2010, while he was pursuing his Ph.D. in Educational Leadership, at the University of Louisiana, Monroe. His mentor at the time, Dr Pauline Leonard, a professor at Louisiana Tech University, suggested that DREAM had the potential of being developed into a working, scientific model.
Through a 3-stage developmental model, DREAM helps individuals to work through Desire, Readiness, Empowerment, and Action, to attain Mastery for success.
A motivation and an inspiration, Father Reverend Lijo Thomas Pathickal has purposed his life to helping others grow.
