"With wonderful photographs and heartwarming stories, this program excited our students and ignited their love for elephants. This presentation allowed for our students to make informed conclusions about the conditions suitable for elephants, without being forceful or preachy."

“I was very impressed with the presentation because it was perfect for our middle school audience. First, Gigi sincerely demonstrated how an individual can take a focus of deep care and compassion and ‘live it out’ through conscious choices and involvement. Secondly, our students enthusiastically responded to her openness to their questions, her gentle spirit, and her genuine hope in their capacity to make things better. I look forward to having her come back.”

"Just wanted to say thanks so much for coming to Germantown Academy yesterday to talk to the students about orangutans, palm oil, and the power students have as consumers to affect their future and their world. Your warm and genuine manner, the beautiful photos, and the video all combined to capture and maintain the students' interest. Their questions following your presentation clearly indicated that they had been listening closely and thinking carefully about the issues you discussed.

Often after an assembly like yours, students leave wondering what they can do…and feeling frustrated by the scale of the problem. Distributing postcards to interested students provided an immediate action they could take, and the slides of the product labels showed clearly how to check for palm oil as an ingredient....

 

Thanks for another informative assembly, Gigi. You are doing important work really effectively. Because you know your audience, you make a real difference. Please come back again!"
