What Participans Say

"Honestly, I never thought that any group of young people actually had a care about what was going around them and how to fix it or help solve the problem. I learned that there are other people that do care and do want to do something to help - including my group and me."  ~Bry

"The best thing was that the students took the initiative in their own hands and worked independently. And that learning was always based on practical experience, on what really happens."
~ Mughi

"War gave us such a one-sided view.  Meeting Shqipe, a Kosovar, I discovered we were so alike…both our fathers are university professors, our mothers are elementary school teachers and we even look alike.  At least once a day people call me by her name and she by my name.  I see the world differently now."
~Sylvia

"I will always remember the fun we all had."
~Robin

"I think it changed my outlook almost completely…now I know how I would go about starting any project."

~Florencia
