Therefore, seven years ago I started Dare to Dream, to give the upcoming generation a chance I never had! - Kgomotso Phatsima

I always wondered how it would be to be in the sky like a bird, flying that huge machine.

When I was growing up, I never had the chance to sit like this with a pilot or get into an airplane until I had the chance to fly one. After I qualified as a pilot, I sat down and thought: ‘What can I do to give the upcoming generation, especially those who grew up in a village, like me, an opportunity to do that?’

At the time, as a girl in my community, the best you could do was be a nurse or a teacher. There was little inspiration to be a pilot. I had to rely on my own research and the little career guidance to learn more about aviation.
