"When Maria smiled and held me after I finished my last work at the same time as usual, I was satisfied yet thought I did not want to leave my children there. I wish there would be more work camps for disabled children, so that I could have more children for me and come back to them someday."

Megumi Iijima / Estonia ~ 2005

"We were all incredibly different, but we all had one thing in common: we all had within us the human spirit to jump over geographical hurdles, cross cultural boundaries, and break down language barriers to come together as one entity who shared a sense of world community….. I fell in love with the challenges that came with overcoming fears and the opportunities of learning that came from being in the unfamiliar."  Alisa Trinh / Estonia ~ 2008

“Overall it was an excellent camp.  I would suggest any volunteer to participate in it.  What made it so great was the director.  She involved myself and the other volunteer in all aspects of the camp.  Kaidi would translate anything and everything for us.  She even translated a movie for us.  Possibly the best director of all I have dealt with.  She liked to play practical jokes.  She will get exactly what she deserves next time!!!  The teachers at the camp were very good and most spoke good English and did often for us.  The kids were always kept busy with activities and learning.  Kaidi insisted the children learn something daily.  Good food was three times a day.” Tom Searl / Estonia - 2007
