Please pass on my thanks to Sami and Jonny. Today's talk was excellent and I'm sure that they were very pleased with the interest shown by the students, underlined by the number of questions at the end and the number of students who stayed behind for further discussion".

"I think that what they are doing is really helping their people as they are 'spreading peace' among young people"
Wellington College, Crowthorne, Year 9 students
"Hi, I just wanted to let you know that the talk gave to our school today by Sami and Johnathan was genuinely an interesting and engaging one, which I and everyone else enjoyed, so thank you to them. They're both really interesting and good people. Their views were balanced and thoughtful, and Sami especially has a fantastic, interesting and inspiring story. So yeah, I just thought I'd let you know that. It was great, so thank you. Have a great week. "

"It was a delight to see an example of co-operation and respect in the presentation of what is a complex and difficult issue"
The Christian School Takeley
"You came to our school to give us a PowerPoint presentation on the Middle East conflict. I firstly believe that you were not biased towards any side in this topic, secondly teachers and students bombarded with you with a lot of tough questions and I thought you handled them with such composure and showed you were no pushovers and have heavily researched and read about this certain topic. It was a great sideshow and a debate which you could go on and discuss for hours and even days."

Wellington College, Crowthorne, Year 9 students
I had my doubts when it was stated that all facts would be presented, but as the presentation continued I realised that this really was the case.
It was informative, well constructed and unusually, we as students were not patronised. We were left to construct our own views, which I appreciated. Thoughtful and fact based answers were given to the closing questions. Overall, an excellent presentation given by knowledgeable speakers, which I hope many more students will be able to see"
