If enough people think of a thing and work hard enough at it, I guess it's pretty nearly bound to happen, wind and weather permitting.

Don't wait for permission to pursue your dreams. Give yourself the permission to go after what you want.

How can I provide a relationship which this person may use for his own personal growth?

There is no substitute for hard work.

A goal without a plan is just a wish

He who has imagination without learning has wings but no feet.

Believe in yourself and the world will be at your feet.
