Liberia – Meet Flasher Garjuan, a 2019 graduate of The DEAR Foundation Switzerland’s school in Liberia. In his own words:
'My name is Flasher, and from a young age, I knew I had to carve my own path. After leaving BCCI, I joined LREC, and that was a turning point. The school had highly qualified teachers, but my high school days were incredibly tough. Paying school fees was a constant struggle; I often had to do community work just to raise enough to stay in class. Every day was a fight, but even though my foundation was shaky, LREC didn’t just give me academics; it gave me hope. I learned vocational skills—electricity, bricklaying, computer basics—skills I never thought I could master. After graduating, I volunteered, then went to NVTI to learn computers, hoping to help my dad. But before I could finish, I lost him. Still, LREC gave me more than knowledge; it gave me confidence, resilience, and a vision. After that, I built Multi Dreams Studio, offering video, music production, and electrical and computer services. Today, my business supports my siblings, my family, and my community. I share everything I know, because I once was that student fighting for a chance. My dream is to specialize even further—maybe travel abroad if the opportunity arises—so I can grow my craft. But no matter what, I know I’ll come back and build a studio that uplifts others. To all LREC students—stay strong, keep fighting, and if you ever feel like you can’t go on—remember, your struggles today can become the wings for tomorrow.'
