Oprah Winfrey of The Oprah Winfrey Show [weekdays, SABC3, 17:30] recently helped the girls of her private school in South Africa, the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls at Henley-on-Klip, with their very first matric farewell since the first class is in grade 12 this year. She says she wants them to feel like they're ''princesses''.
''Over the years one of the things that I've loved the most is being able to bring joy to people. When you see the faces of girls getting matric farewell dresses - I just went through this in South Africa with my girls going to the matric farewell for the first time - I know how a dress, some lipstick, some blush, a pair of shoes can change what you think of yourself,'' she reveals in Season 25: Oprah Behind the Scenes.
''Put them on for the first time and you believe that you too can be a princess in the world. You begin to see yourself differently, you begin to see the possibilities,'' says Oprah Winfrey. ''The message is that dreams can come true for everybody.''
