The TPG cultural exchange program has been extremely beneficial. The teachers are professionals, coachable, and eager to learn and assume new responsibilities.

Dr. Debra Hudson

It's really a great experience for the students of both countries to make new friends as well as to share their experiences with each other. As a teacher, I am very proud of becoming a facilitator for young minds to explore.
