Testimonials

Here are what some participants in previous student right organisation network programs have had to say about their experience:
"I am very grateful for this experience and to have been part of a such a rich exchange. I feel even more empowered to continue my work as an activist, in contributing to the development of our world."


"I have a new perspective on human rights and children's issues."


"The program was an avenue to reflect and understand why you do what you do and what benefit being an activist has to your life and community."


"The techniques used and the positive spirit of the participation and facilitation were awesome!"


"This was an awesome experience. I was made more aware of issues that affect other people and that other youth are concerned about human rights issues."


"Unbelievably wonderful and inspiring."


"Personally, the connections I have developed, have influenced me positively and have given me the strength to continue."


"What about inspiration? That was 80% of the impact of the Learning Community. It proved that young people can actually make the difference. Coming from the Niger Delta this meant a lot to me because as many, particularly older persons, blame the youth for most of the problems in the Delta. The Learning Community was a triumph for the youth!"


"After I got home, I felt really motivated to look up local organizations where I could volunteer my time. I think that the delegation has helped me connect the problems that I see in the world with what little bit I can do."


"This is an experience I will never forget. I personally know a number of Cambodians now, which is something not many Americans can attest to. America has, understandably, a critical and often fearful view of much of Southeast Asia from past conflicts, but I believe that if more Americans could see these countries now and meet an average Cambodian, they would realize how much we really have in common. A personal connection can be made. Your outlook on the world seems to soften a little, and perhaps you will be more reluctant to support any violence against another country and more likely to help those in need."


"This trip was amazing. I've been thinking about it non-stop and will never forget my experiences and all of you. Thank you so much for your friendship, expertise and inspiration."


"I would like to say thank you...Now we are walking on the same way forward to peace for the world through our shared dream."


"I found my experience to be unparalleled to anything that I have ever done before."
Thank you very much for your interest in our work.

We hope you will join us in nigeria this summer.
