“What started as a heartfelt initiative in 2010 has grown into a movement of generosity and transformation.

“A Girl and Guy’s Dream Come True, a charity dedicated to affording less fortunate matriculants an unforgettable farewell experience, held its first event at Germiston High School, where 10 deserving students were given the full matric ball experience—dressed in stunning attire, styled to perfection, and chauffeured in elegance,” said chairperson Louise Wood.

“Since that memorable night, the charity has continued its mission to ensure that no student misses out on their special milestone due to financial constraints. With the generous support of sponsors, volunteers, and the community, the initiative has touched the lives of over 500 students across various schools, including learners from the Afrikaanse Hoërskool based in Germiston as well as learners based in the Vaal Triangle.

“In addition to creating unforgettable farewell experiences, A Girl and Guy’s Dream Come True has also assisted students with learnerships through partnerships with an insurance company based in Bedfordview, the Hotel School in Potchefstroom, and the SAPS.
