- Tiana, “As a sighted guide/ volunteer, it has been truly wonderful to see the VI’s step outside of their comfort zones, push their boundaries and the relief and pride on their faces when they accomplished the achievement! Moreover, the incredible team spirit and camaraderie which I think everyone experienced even if they didn’t participate in that particular activity.”
- Steve: “Everyone pushed themselves out of their comfort zones and challenged themselves to do things they hadn’t done before.”
- Bicky: “My favourites were the archery especially getting the bull’s-eye on my second shot, and also the giant swing.”
- Amar (Amrits daughter) “I just want to say a big BIG thank you to Suzie for organizing an amazing trip at PGL.I am so proud of how everyone had the chance to push themselves out of their comfort zones when taking on these challenging activities.”
- Priti, “I’m not a fit or active person so for me this break was a real challenge and I was determined to conquer my fears. With the support and encouragement of the amazing PGL staff, guides and team mates. One of my biggest fears was abseiling with a fear of heights, but with constant encouragement I even managed that. I was so happy and felt such a sense of achievement and elation when I got to the bottom. The friendship, spirit and chatter with and amongst everyone always had a buzz of joy, excitement, anticipation and pride too, it was so nice. This break really took me out of my comfort zone and I now feel great apart from my arms and legs aching. It built my confidence and self esteem.”
- Althea, “Thank you, thank you, thank you for all the wonderful activities that pushed me beyond my comfort zone. The experiences were thrilling, emotional, and incredibly challenging. We were a network of beautiful souls who have supported each other emotionally, mentally, and physically. I made new friends, reconnected with old ones, and was surrounded by an amazing group of supportive people. A special thanks to Suzy and her incredible team of helpers and volunteers, as well as the PGL team of friendly instructors.
- Norin, “I had the best few days meeting you all and doing lots of activities.
