I am impressed with the way this course was delivered in multiple ways. It took a while for me to get used to listening to stories but I am a better learner now. Every Canadian needs this teaching.

Very deep course. It is hard to realize how cruel people can be. It is sad to understand that even nowadays people can be humiliated.

Thank you for your course.
