Testimonials


"I honestly believe that GEB as an organization is one of the best ways to bring students, international communities, and cultures together in a way that shows humanitarian work is not only doing something amazing for someone else, but doing something amazing for yourself." Anonymous, Dec 2009

"The trip included all the elements of a perfect travel experience: team bonding, great food, service work, site-seeing, and recreation  time. I would not change a single thing about my experience, except for perhaps extending the trip to ten days instead of seven." Daniela, Dec 2009

"Finally we got in the boat with everyone to go to Nusatupu. When we arrived we went immediately to the congress house with children yelling “hola” as we walked by. Food on Nusatupu was wonderful the whole time, especially if you were a fan of Tang. That night we received our Kuna names. I was given the name Dinubdili which means water of the river, and from then on I felt connected to the community and like I was supposed to be there." Acacia, Dec 2009

"As with visiting any other place, but in Kuna Yala more than anywhere, I was humbled with a tangible and real example to live life better for the environment. I had this wonderful opportunity to experience it first-hand" Rebecca, Dec 2009

"I learned so much not only about installing solar panels, but also about the Kuna Yala culture and how the world is so diverse culturally and economically.  This trip enhanced my spanish speaking skills as well as my communication skills with others."... "The best part of about this trip was that we were not treated like tourists by the Kuna.  We were treated like brothers and sisters."  Jackie, Dec 2009

"I learned so much that I almost feel like the Kuna did more for me than I did for them." Hannah, Dec 2009
