sample of feedback - high schools
SAMPLE OF BOOK FEEDBACK:
Richard Freedman, Director, South African Holocaust & Genocide Foundation: "The First Thirty has given me much food for thought and I am quite sure will resonate with me in the years to come. Today is Youth Day in South Africa which recognises the contribution that young people have made in the struggle against apartheid and the rebuilding of our country after apartheid. It is also meant to inspire young people to take on their own potential and to find their way in the world. This book shows how that is possible and that it mostly the curved line which offers the greatest opportunity for growth and for something special to be achieved...."
Morgan, high school student, Texas: "[The First Thirty is] a refreshing reminder that each of us can -- and should -- be open to the world beyond our window while changing the world within it."
SAMPLE OF WORKBOOK FEEDBACK:
Chris Herman, Pittsburgh Diller Teen Fellows Coordinator: “[A Place To Sit is] a tremendously helpful resource for any program that encourages its participants to be empowered and inspired leaders with a sense of commitment to serve and a deeper understanding of their responsibility to the world."
Jan Gillespie, Head of School, The Janus School: "A Place To Sit supplies educators and school administrators with wonderful ideas to use with students of all ages and learning styles."
SAMPLE OF EVENT FEEDBACK:
Mr. Hamilton, high school administrator, Canada: "I would highly recommend him… His obvious passion, enthusiasm, and ability to relate with a large audience, combined with his heart-warming story, will have an impact wherever there are teenagers looking for a purpose in life - which is everywhere."
F.C., high school administrator, USA: "It was a very good day for our students...Lots of good ideas bubbling up from Greg's visit. I will absolutely keep him posted on what next steps are taken (on the community service project ideas he gave our students). I love the idea of working together here as we move forward, and will keep brainstorming...So glad to have had Greg here, and looking forward to keeping the dialogue going."
Karen, high school teacher, USA: "Thanks again to Greg for visiting our school...I am already getting notes and comments from people...In such a kind and thoughtful way, he encourages others, especially the young to be curious and friendly and use these skills to reach out to others. I know he is aware of the impact he makes with these kids and I thank him for being another positive influence in their lives. We will definitely keep in touch."
SAMPLE OF MEDIA:
Midwest Book Review: "A lesson in humanity...The First Thirty delivers a strong, positive message that is particularly relevant to high school students but is valuable to everyone...an uplifting true story that reminds us that all the movie-caliber underdog stories we see don't always have to be make-believe..."
