"Hearing Louise has helped fan the flame for our youth to question and be more aware of their world. As educators, their testament as dynamic youth reaches far beyond what any curriculum can do!" - Cheryl Spotswood, guidance counsellor, Bishop Smith Catholic School, Pembroke, ON

"The staff was amazed. Within about two weeks of Louise being in the school we had raised approximately $2000 to help with "Free The Children" A group of students have since started our own "Youth in Action" group and meet on a fairly regular basis. I would highly recommend Louise Kent and the "Me to We Tour" visit any school and hope that they can make the stop again next year." - Caroline LaBelle, Vice Principal, Notre Dame High School: Pembroke, ON

Testimonies from students:

"I just wanted to thank you and everyone else at Leaders Today/Free The Children for the fantastic presentation. I've been getting e-mails from students who saw the presentation and want to join our school chapter or who want more info on what the two organizations do. This is the first assembly I've ever seen in the school where the students maintained such interest after the fact. The teachers who spoke to me afterwards said that this was also the first time they've seen the kids behave so well for an assembly. I know they were all moved and very impressed. You all did a phenomenal job, so thanks again!" - Sanam, 17, Thornhill SS, Thornhill, ON
