I learned to be a better person. Just the other day I caught myself saying retarded as an insult and stopped before I said it. I actually became different and nicer and more thoughtful. –Student

I didn’t really believe it was possible when I heard that The Mosaic Project made sure that no child fell through the cracks, but you did it! –Teacher

Mosaic taught me how to solve conflicts, be a team, and empathize.–Student

We all need diversity. If we didn’t have it life would be just plain boring because everything would be the same. –Student

The Mosaic Project taught me that to make a change you have to change first. –Student

What you did amazingly well was recruit wonderful staff and cabin leaders, all of whom without exception seemed to have only the best interests of the children in mind and worked to create a safe and loving atmosphere... –Teacher

When you feel like being mean to someone for whatever reason you have, you should try to remember the whole week that you spent away from home learning about not to do what you are about to do. –Student

The memories of the week and the lessons learned will last a lifetime. –Teacher

At Mosaic you could have your own personality and dress the way you like without being teased. –Student

I will never judge people by their looks or reputations again. –Student

I learned that the boys in my cabin from [another school] liked a lot of things that I like. –Student

It was so fun no one could put it in good enough words to fit it into the perfect description. –Student

I hope when I grow up I will have the privilege to go and be a counselor. And if I have children and Mosaic is still around, I will send them. –Student

I just want you to know that this was a transforming experience for me as well as for the kids. I’d been feeling really hopeless about the state of the world and my power to change things. You helped give me hope and optimism and the reminder that even helping one person can make a huge impact on the world. Thank you! –High School Student Cabin Leader

I have worked and been involved with social justice issues for over 25 years. I believe that the work of The Mosaic Project is the most important in the world right now. It creates crucial bridges towards a peaceful world. –School Administrator

This program is the best of its kind I have ever seen... I would recommend that it be part of the standard curriculum for all 4th or 5th-grade classrooms... –Teacher

I will never forget this experience, for it has been one of the best weeks in my 10 years of life...I bet if everyone in the world went to The Mosaic Project, the world would be a better place. But of course that can’t happen, because it’s not big enough to fit the billions of people out there. But if you pass on what you have learned…the world can be a better place. One person CAN make a difference if they try. That one person can be YOU. –Student

I think The Mosaic Project will remain inside me until I have amnesia, and then I might still remember. –Student

I’ve been thinking about it a lot and thought you should know that I’ve been examining some of my own prejudices as a result of thinking about [my son’s] experience…I wanted to let you know that we are ALL thinking about new issues. Thanks. –Parent
