Testimonials

History and experience show that one of the best investments that an individual, family, community or country can make for the future is education. Therefore, attention to educational projects, especially those that are rich, involving bi-directional learner-instructor and a community of active and dynamic learning, is a priority. In these times of social crisis, financial and, above all, environmental, Projecto Itzaes meets all these requirements, as I can attest vividly from my recent visit. — Dr. Rodolfo Dirzo, Department of Biology, Stanford University
