I enjoyed being a part of the "LEARN to LIVE Together", Honors Leadership Academy for Young Women 2001. I think it was worthwhile and a very good experience. I enjoyed the variety of classes as well as getting to know interesting people. I especially enjoyed the discussions in the evenings. They were thought-provoking and insightful. I would definitely recommend this program to a friend and would enjoy coming back in the future.

I thought it was fun. Everyone was nice and look forward to coming next year. B.J. Foster Spalding High School Griffin, GA ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I think the camp is a great thing to do again! I would really recommend everyone to come to this camp (girls!)! Thank you for having the camp! Hope to see you next year!

I had a lot of fun at camp this year. Thank you for providing the opportunity for young girls, like myself, to participate in this program. I enjoyed the classes in the mornings, especially learning how to play golf and performing improvisations. I enjoyed learning about the other girls as well as myself, plus this was a great opportunity to meet new people from backgrounds, such as the Japanese Tea Ceremony, the Turkish artifacts, and the Indian folk dance, Dandiya Raas, was an extremely enjoyable experience. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Keep up the good work because from what I saw this was an extraordinary beneficial camp to myself and to others. Thank you Mrs. Sethna for showing us fun and enjoyable time. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fun and interesting. Met new people who I still communicate with thanks to email! I liked learning the Indian Folk Dance, it was a great experience to learn something new and unique. I really enjoyed the sweet talks. It was nice to hear about people and it opened me up and made me lose my shyness. The classes scheduled were educational, interesting, and some of them were fun. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I had a great time! I made LOTS of different friends! Lots! You'll get to eat at Z-6. The food is "different"! The Indian dance was cultural and you get to wear Indian clothing! The Resdident Mentors Jesse and Adrienne are nice; they say yes to almost anything you ask! Ms. Sethna is like a counselor when you go to L to L. You can tell her about anything that's bothering you and she will try to make it better for you and your "environmnet." If you were to ask her something, such as: "Ms. Sethna, can we go to the Gym?" Ms. Sethna said: "We'll see about it" is usually what she says, which is good!

Thank you for letting me be a part of such a wonderful program! I learned a lot of things at camp. I really enjoyed the Sweet Talks. I'll never forget the folk dance that you taught us. It was really fun to learn new things that I didn't know about Inida. I also enjoyed the beautiful Henna designs you put on us. I never would have thought that I would have stayed in a college dorm before I got in college! It was exciting staying with a roommate and meeting new people. I have made some lifelong friends here at camp. The only things that I didn't enjoy too much about the camp was the food and the length of time the camp lasted. Six days being with unfamiliar people, but I guess that's why you call it "LEARN to LIVE Together". I think I would have enjoyed the camp more maybe if it was three or four days. Over all I give the camp an A-. The minus was really because of the food (Yuck!). You couldn't control the confrontations that went on during camp. You may quote me on antyhing I say in this letter. Thank you again for the wonderful experience.

I'd like to thank you for the opportunity of attending the LEARN to LIVE Together camp. I thoroughly enjoyed myself. The variety of classes was very pleasing. Learning Dandiya Raas was definitely a high point. I made many new friends that I hope to keep in touch with. Thank you once again and hopefully I'll be able to attend again in the future.

The Leadership Camp was very enlightening. It helped us learn more about college life, classes while also helping us learn with things we deal with on a daily basis (Night sessions). Our counselors were excellent and so was Mrs. Madhavi. Thank you very much.
