Before Dreamspire, Bonteheuwel felt like the whole world. People made us believe there were limits, that you can’t do this or that, and that you would only end up as a barber, a cleaner, or a general worker. That was all we thought life had to offer.
Dreamspire completely changed my mindset.
They made me believe in opportunities. More than that, they gave us the courage to chase them. We didn’t just sit in a room talking about careers, we actually experienced them.
One day, we were at a fire station learning CPR and discovering what it really takes to become a firefighter. The next day, I was at a military base living out something I had always dreamed of. That’s when it hit me, the army isn’t just about soldiers on the ground. You can join the air force, become a pilot, a nurse, or even a chef. Who knew?
Dreamspire showed me that there is a whole world outside of Bonteheuwel. They sacrificed their time and effort to help us learn, grow, and experience it for ourselves, and I appreciated that so much because not many people would do that for others.
I’ll be honest, when the program first started, I thought it was a joke. I wasn’t interested at all. I was one of the people saying, “Nah, who wants to join that?” But something told me to give it a chance, just to see what it was about.
And honestly, it was the best decision I ever made. I don’t regret it for a second. - Jauhar Myburg
