Feedback from a previous bursary award winner:
Wow. My life has not been the same since. I’ve experienced so much movement and growth in the past two months that it almost seems like a blur. I want to express my deepest gratitude to you for blessing me with the green light bursary award. I have been serving Kambo for almost a month now and my relationship with it has taken on a whole new depth. It’s such an honor to be able to safely share this wonderful healing with others. I want you to know that I will always honor the purpose of the award which in my eyes is to make it available to those less fortunate and those who might not ever have the means to experience it. I am here to be a beacon of Love and Service. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart.
