“There was nothing that was more valuable to me in my life than having the opportunity to be, and act, and interact outside my own country.  When there are meetings between groups from the North and groups from the South, planning projects, that helps so much to expand one’s vision.  I wanted to look beyond our borders and Partners gave me an opportunity to do that.”

-Sallie Abbas, North Carolina Chapter, USA 

“Partners has allowed me to connect internationally by giving me the opportunity to meet people abroad in Latin America and across the United States.  Because of the opportunities that Partners offered me, I was even able to connect with the Partners Chapter in Porto Alegre, Brazil and travel there to meet some of the members.  I was also at the first PartnersCampus Convention that brought students from across Latin America and the United States together in Washington, DC.  It was an incredible opportunity that allowed me to meet people and talk about our ideas, and learn about our cultural differences.  I was able to network and make great friends.”
