Response from Toucan Education Programs
Thank you for taking the time to share your review of the program, Will. It was certainly a pleasure having you as a part of the pilot of this program this past summer.
Based on the feedback from yourself and the rest of the pilot group, we have made changes to next year's program regarding housing which will certainly address the concerns you mentioned in your review.
Thank you again. We wish you the best of luck and hope to see you in Belize again soon!
