    8. India What last year’s participants have to say: “This project has changed my outlook on life and is something that no one in my family has done before it gave me a great sense of self – confidence as I coped well.” “This has made me want to go out and explore more of the under-developed world.” “India made me grow as a person as it made me deal with people that I had never met.” “I feel a lot more motivated as I now know what I want out of life “ “I can now understand why The Beatles went to India - to find themselves.”

    9. India Parents comments: Before my son went to India the only adventures he had had were normal holidays or days out. But since he has come back he certainly appreciates electricity more! He watched a whole cycle of a washing machine cleaning his clothes instead of him having to do himself. I would say that my daughter’s time in India has, without any reservation, been the making of my beautiful daughter. Thank-you for giving my son the opportunity of going to India. It is an experience that he will remember all his life. You have awoken in my daughter the confidence to consider that nothing is impossible if you have the opportunity, the belief and the support of people who care.

    13. Brazil Last year’s participants

    14. Brazil What last year’s participants have to say: This time in Brazil has been one of the best times of my life, something that I will never forget. It was an amazing opportunity that I will truly recommend to others. One of the greatest things about this placement was the friendships that I have made Immense graffiti & masses of it, rice & beans, little humming birds of all colours who drink nectar from cactus flowers, chicken hearts on kebabs, so much dancing. I have learnt how to adapt to new situations. The language barrier that I was faced with definitely helped me to develop this skill. "Achievement through others" - my new motto.

    15. Brazil Parents comments: I have seen the development of a self-reliant and mature daughter, able to plan and control her own progress (quite a change for a girl who waited to be chauffered the 5 minutes to school or a friend’s house). This experience has been, without any question, the best thing that has happened to my daughter.
