“I admire and appreciate all the work you are doing with your organization, starting with the school in rural Pakistan. I’ve experienced first-hand the incredible, long-lasting impact quality education can have on a rural community through our initiatives at Merck for rural Tanzania. It’s great to see your HBS colleagues come together to work towards this invaluable cause. The HBS section involvement makes this project that much more compelling for me to support. This effort is a great testament to HBS students’ leadership in making a true impact on our world.” – Raymond V. Gilmartin |

“dreamfly, to me, is a window into a world I previously didn’t have access to; a reminder that there are no limits to compassion; a way for me to let the children know they are not forgotten, that we care; something that is bigger than me and that will outlast my life…”

“Dreamfly stands out for several reasons…but mostly, I like that dreamfly gives me a chance to do something beyond my immediate world and allows me to see the dramatic and personal impact of those efforts.”

“Why do I support dreamfly? First, simply because so much good can be done for so little. I love feeling that I might be able to be useful in the lives of these kids. And, because I think it helps give them the freedom and opportunity to live lives that they would not have had otherwise”
