Testimonials

"Thank you for the opportunity to teach some amazing young women at the Karamat College in Lucknow, India. The experience was transformational, for in so many ways, each individual taught me some incredible lessons about life. I will certainly regard this time as being one of the best and most memorable experiences in my teaching career!"
