  • Stockholm, Sweden

    Thank you very much for all your help. He would not have managed the day without your help! He came safely back (to his boarding school) and eventually he will have time to tell us more of his school visits. We understood from his text message that XX University took especially good care of him. Thank you again for giving him the opportunity to do his school visits the day after the snow storm, I had my doubts time wise but all worked well!

  • Caracas, Venezulea

    Excellent news…he seems very happy and relaxed, I believe it was worth it. I am very pleased about your support and service, I think you helped for everything for what he achieved.
