What do Sue's students say about her courses?

"Thank you again for the opportunity to take the Administrators Course in Prague. It was a fantastic experience, with a very active group of students and a welcoming MIP staff. Sue and Christine were excellent, and your team, including Tomas and Lucy, handled everything with professionalism, especially any technical glitches. The shared cooking and lunches really helped build a sense of community. Visiting Andílek and speaking with the staff was a highlight, and the walk there was a nice change. I hope to return in the future to see the farm school!"
