I wish to be an astronaut

A young boy smiles while wearing a white and blue astronaut suit with NASA patches, holding a white helmet, against a blue gradient background.

Johan dreamed of exploring space, seeing stars shine, and discovering new planets. His wish? To be an astronaut!

His mission began at the Explora Science and Art Center. Johan and his brothers explored the universe, learned about science, and received a real astronaut helmet. He especially loved the gravity room—“a completely new experience!”

Next, they travelled back in time to the age of dinosaurs, enjoying lunch at the Raptors restaurant, where Johan proudly wore his astronaut suit. Then came a special surprise: a personal message from his favourite artist, El Boza, and a gift to help him keep dreaming “to infinity and beyond.”

At the end of the day, Johan told his mom, “Thank you – not everything hurts. Not all people are bad, ” with his mom adding that we “can’t imagine the impact” a wish can have on the life of a child and their family.
