Are there dreams that are not worth the effort? Dreams that are hopeless because they seem so far away? Distance doesn’t play a role for 22-year-old Krithin Paul Pereira, who travelled almost 10,000 kilometers from his home in Kuala Lumpur to Porsche in Weissach with his parents in pursuit of his dream. There he has the opportunity to meet designers and delve into the world of Porsche sports cars, which have fascinated and motivated him for years.
For Pereira, this day is the highlight of his journey, which cannot be measured in kilometers. A journey full of passion, dedication, joy, inspiration, and an overwhelming determination to achieve a specific goal. It’s the story of a dream that initially seems unachievable, but ultimately proves to be well worthwhile – as Pereira demonstrates on this special day. Despite his physical limitations, Pereira expresses his dream on paper with pictures, drawings of Porsche models, which according to designer Stéphane Lenglin, are “outstanding and impressive – there’s tons of potential there.”

Krithin has cerebral palsy, a brain disorder caused by injury during birth. Motor skills and fluid speech are a physical challenge for him. “We fought for his life for months,” says his mother. Krithin is still fighting to this day, as he refuses to simply accept his fate. “He firmly believes that everyone has problems. And even if his is bigger, it shouldn’t get in the way of making his dreams come true,” says Ashita Pereira. “His positive attitude will allow him to achieve his goal.” At 22 years of age, Pereira is now at the educational level of other people his age. He completed his final examinations in advance, so that he’d be able to travel to Germany without all the stress. Preparations for university will begin in the near future, with specialization in automotive engineering.
Krithin Paul Pereira knows what his goal is. And it’s clear to see that he’ll do anything in his power to achieve it. After all, he’s a fighter who demonstrates that every dream is worth the effort. Regardless of how remote it may seem at first.
