“I formed meaningful connections with the teachers and students. The experience broadened my perspective on education and community.” – Ivy Metz

“Now, …correcting their 2-page stories about sustainable farming is a bit overwhelming. I’m quite certain that if I took a 10-week class in a foreign language, I could not write as well as they now write.” – Suzanne Winters

“I have given so much of myself to these students. And they have given so much of themselves to me. I will think of them and remember them forever.” – Johna Brems
