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
Goals, Vision, Mission & Core Values
Our Philosophy
The spirit of Let Us Dream is rooted in timeless values of compassion, action, and collective growth.
Mahatma Gandhi's belief — "Be the change you wish to see in the world" — has guided our purpose since inception. Equally, Mother Teresa’s words remind us that every small act matters: "What we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But if that drop was not in the ocean, the ocean would be less because of that missing drop."
Each individual has the power to ignite change — small steps that ripple outward to create a more compassionate and progressive world.
Empowering Communities
The story behind our mission and the visionary who turned purpose into action.
The Let Us Dream organizational culture is anchored in the universal values championed by St. Kuriakose Elias Chavara — the holistic formation of individuals and their commitment to society. We see humanity as a single global family, where our success and progress are interconnected.
Father Reverend Lijo Thomas Pathickal, CMI, found his confidence through music and envisioned a program to help shy or underconfident children unlock their hidden potential — the beginning of the DREAM Program.
The initiative expanded rapidly, but its major turning point came in 2010 during his Ph.D. in Educational Leadership at the University of Louisiana, Monroe. Guided by Dr. Pauline Leonard of Louisiana Tech University, he began developing DREAM into a scientifically validated model.
The DREAM Model guides individuals through a transformative journey of Desire, Readiness, Empowerment, and Action — culminating in Mastery for success.
Today, Father Reverend Lijo Thomas Pathickal continues to inspire people across the globe, dedicating his life to fostering confidence, compassion, and leadership in others through the power of education and shared humanity.
