Emily Bierwirth – Bronxville, NY • January 2012 Trip Participant

I kicked off 2012 with a fantastic trip to the Facing the Future school in Kenya. This was my second adventure with Cross-Cultural Thresholds, and my first time visiting the new school site. I met a group of Kenyan teen volunteers and mentors at Facing the Future whom I’ll never forget. Their hope for a bright future and love for the children at the school was inspiring. I cannot wait to return!

Joe French – Bronxville, NY • July 2010 Trip Participant

Traveling with Cross-Cultural Thresholds, my daughters and I had an incredible life experience. We visited the second largest slum in the world, worked side-by-side with children who taught us about resilience and joy, and stretched our hearts immeasurably. It was the best investment I’ve ever made.

Cathy Killeffer – Rowayton, CT • July 2010 Trip Participant

My trip to Kenya to volunteer at the Drug Fighters School was a life-altering experience. Fellow trip participants and I helped to build a classroom, painted a mural, taught English, and fell in love with the kids at the school. Whatever I gave was returned to me in ways I could never have imagined. It was an incredibly powerful experience that I’ll never forget.
