"Authentica gave me the opportunity to see things that I, personally, would not have sought if I were travelling on my own or with a regular company. This social entrepreneurship program involved us visiting rural areas, meeting the locals, and seeing how they integrated innovations to become self-sustainable. We received a warm welcome everywhere we went, and the whole experience was both educational and eye-opening. Authentica did a great job managing the travel logistics. Thank you for the wonderful experience."

"I think this program provides an eye opening and authentic window into the country as you experience something very different from what you have at home. You realise that there is a much bigger world out there, and we need to understand and respect that. The program pushed our boundaries and helped us step out of our comfort zone; that’s where I feel it created the most amount of change and allowed us to be open-minded. I loved the fact that the program was fast-paced and kept us on our toes. And in the end, when we presented our ideas to the communities, NGOs, and Authentica, there was a profound sense of fulfilment and accomplishment like no other."

"Learning about people outside your immediate sphere is incredibly important. As an engineer and as a human, it helps you to build an empathetic mindset in the way you go about your professional and personal lives. Before embarking on this program, I had no idea what was in store for me. But after staying with the families (in the community), becoming one of their children, the kind of relationships that we formed were unlike anything I have ever experienced."
