"The experience was truly one of the highlights of my life." Norma Cooler 

"It was like a National Geographic Special on T.V., but we had a front row seat and were surrounded by hundreds of black sweaty faces in the sultry evening light. The dancers swaying bodies and stamping feet kept time with the drum beats, the rhythm infected the entire audience. " Ray Hardin - referring to a Garifuna dance.

"The two week trip has totally changed my life." Shelley Watkins

"It was a wonderful experience for everyone and far better than I had expected. I wish there was something I could tell you to make it a better trip, but I can not. The institute people, the lodging, the food, and the rainforest itself was outstanding. My students are now going to our local junior high schools and elementary schools doing rainforest workshops." Sam Manola.

"During the summer of 1991, prior to my Junior year in high school, I participated in a STR educational trip to Belize. To be completely honest, it changed my world in a way that I can't fully describe in words. However, I will tell you that the experience has lead me to a career in wildlife biology and a continued interest in tropical and international conservation." Anna Munoz

"The trip lasted two weeks and although my time in the forest was short; my experiences there had a great impact upon me. I had never felt such peace or saw such beauty. However, I also realized that the rainforest is in great danger." Brendon Troutman. Brendon goes on to say how he later raised $225 to help save rainforests!

"I just wanted to express my gratitude to you for having set up an EXCELLENT trip. I went to Panama this summer. The accommodations, food, staff, transportation, … in short everything, was above expectation." Karen Behrndt
