Being able to help and contribute in a positive way to an organization with such an important social intention as saving children who have suffered in silence, has been a great learning experience for me. My experience with the director of the organization, Mike, has been excellent, I appreciate how he was always available even though I could tell how stressed or busy he was. I admire and value the work he does for these children. Even though the project is over I feel I have a commitment to the organization, I talk about it to people I know and I have encouraged people to donate. Working on this project with Mike was a great experience for me and I hope I have been able to contribute to the organization. Thank you Mike for this amazing opportunity!

When you discuss obstacles with him, he is always helpful and constructive. Any time you talk to Mike you feel the urgency of the cause, but his passion and drive is contagious- and like that you’re ready to dive into difficult topics, knowing you’re helping these vulnerable children.
