Pető János, 22 (Herculian)

"I had the chance to participate on a program named Nosce te ipsum! [Know yourself!] together with 8 youth from all over the country. After a one-day of knowing each-other activities I hardly could wait to start the expedition. I really liked that each of us had the opportunity to take responsibilities for the preparation of the expedition and also we tried ourselves in leadership trough leading the group from one checkpoint to the other. After coming back from the 3 day expedition we had an evaluation where we talked about our feelings and personal development. This helped me to clear things in myself and get more mature. Thank you for sponsoring me to participate on this outstanding program!"

Marcu Bianca Liana, 22 (Iaşi)

"All these 6 days were more than a simple experience. It was a lesson (a life-lesson) which helped me to reflect on myself. I consider it was a process, a period of maturing, of personal development – which had a powerful affect on me. New friends, new adventures which trained me physically, emotionally and mentally.
I wrote a line which is typical of me after this training:
Since three days now
Her mouth doesn't keep mum!
I am grateful  to the donators who sponsored me to participate on this training. Thanks for the colleagues, trainer and organizers too!"
