Synopsis

Today I celebrate my eight-year anniversary with the WMI family, when I was recognized not only as a student but also as someone with purpose, potential, and a desire to create change. This milestone changed my life forever.

—Lovetta Dolo, Liberia

“I believe in giving back. It’s my life philosophy.” —Thomas M. Wells

In 2005, Tom Wells gave one scholarship to a student in Ghana. This is special, he thought. Love helping out.

Twenty years later, that one “yes” has grown into the Wells Mountain Initiative, impacting over a thousand scholars, fifty-five countries, and a global family of change‑makers.

Dream, Plan, Do! is not a textbook. It’s the messy, beautiful twenty‑year journey of a small foundation that refused to stay small. You’ll meet the scholars, read their stories, and see how ordinary people with a little persistence can change the world.

One person. One dream. One plan. Dream, Plan, Do! Always.
