Student Stories
“The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.” — St. Augustine Students are why we do what we do. Each deserves a chance to experience the world. To gain confidence by doing something daring. To see life in a new light. What travel can do for students is nearly immeasurable, and for most, it's also unimaginable. But dreams do come true. Here are some of the stories that show how travel changes young lives for good.

What are teachers saying?

Thank you again for your generous support of my students. The educational tour we took was my very first, and now I cannot wait to take another. I know I will be searching for financial support in the future, and want to ensure I have the opportunity to come to your organization. You are one of the very few that actually helped, and I cannot express how grateful the students are, as am I.
-
I extend the sincerest of thanks to you for allowing us to see the fires kindled in the eyes of our students.

I see what SYF has done for my students and it overwhelms me and I thank you.
