Testimonials
We don’t do what we do for the praise we get, but it’s still nice to be recognized for our outstanding service. Hear from teachers, students, tour operators and travel agencies on why working with GROUND is the right choice for you.
Great trek. Great guides. A reasonable challenge for the fitter students yet not too difficult for the less active students. Some did find it very hard but pushed through to complete it which, even if they don’t see it immediately, this will be a great lesson in perseverance for them and patience for me.
It is a great way to see students grow and learn outside of the classroom and also a real opportunity to build strong relationships. It is a real privilege to be part of the students becoming more aware of the world around them and the benefits that they take for granted. It’s also nice for the students to see you in a different environment and as a real person.
Taksim ensured safety at all times and was professional and sensitive to the needed of each team member. He displayed genuine care and a desire to make sure that everyone enjoyed the trek. His knowledge of local flora and cultural diversity along the trek route was informative and gave the experience authenticity. I would highly recommend Taksim and his team. They were all dedicated, enthusiastic and supportive to everyone.
“Our trip was very well done. The drivers were great and so were the activities. The food was excellent but almost too much. I don’t think we need 5-course meals every night! The kids really enjoyed the street food. Everyone from the drivers to the hotel staff was very friendly and helpful too. [GROUND Vietnam Community Coordinator] Anh did a great job of fixing hotel issues on the first day!”
“So grateful for this crazy experience in Cambodia. I would have never thought that I would have ended up here, I now feel like a local and am so grateful for all the incredibly sweet Cambodian people that I have been able to get to know. Thank you to [GROUND Cambodia’s] Linda Oum for all your help whilst we have been here, you are amazing!!!”
“We were privileged to walk on that ground, touch those children and become friends with [GROUND Cambodia’s] Linda and our interpreters. It was starting to feel like family. Now that is one big reason for all of us to chase a dream and stand in someone else’s shoes. It changes you – for the better.”
“Studying abroad in Southeast Asia not only opened my eyes to new cultures and traditions, but also showed me how practical business skills can be put to use in both a global business and a non-profit environment.”
“As our in-country partner, [GROUND Thailand’s Community Coordinator] Wan was invaluable. She met us on the day we arrived in Bangkok and she was able to give us some great advice right from the start. She was also available to answer our questions throughout our time in Thailand.”
