The experience in Summer Valley School is one that is unmatched elsewhere in terms of the learning I have gained, the warmth I have received and the friendship I have made in the process.

“I have been working with AIESEC for the past 3 years and i appreciate the overall working and the management of the organization. Its great to see the youngsters devoting their time to such social causes rather than wasting their energies in other activities. Learning such things early in life guarantees a successful future ahead. Its an international platform which help in world wide interaction and the mingling of different ideas. Also it gives a professional touch.”
