Below is a selection of the feedback we received from students who attended previous iSTAND events.
The topics that we explored during this camp, particularly Discernment, Evangelisation and Who is my neighbour? really opened my eyes. The talks and videos answered questions that I had been asking for so long. I was inspired to continue in deepening my relationship with God and to reach out to others. Thank you so much!!!!
I was definitely inspired to just continue striving to be grateful, help others, love myself more, and just so many positive things that I hope I can keep improving my relationship with God, others and myself. It was especially good to be in such a great community of nice people, and I am inspired to be with these communities more often.
