Volunteers share thoughts on their experiences

Volunteers find their assignments to be some of the most professionally rewarding and personally fulfilling work they do. Here are some thoughts that some of our volunteers have shared with us:

“Being a volunteer for Winrock allowed me to reconnect with a lifelong passion of working with limited resource farmers. The experience was deeply gratifying at all levels, and I genuinely believe my contributions were valued and used.”   –Kathleen Colverson

“I have personally never experienced such an enthusiastic group of students. I would have to say this has been one of the greatest experiences of my life!”   –Dr. Doug Holland

“All of the trips have been tremendous learning opportunities. These assignments have been the most professionally and personally rewarding of any work I have ever completed. Our work touches thousands of individuals and families and is most humbling.”  –Dr. David Henzler

“Successfully completing an overseas assignment provides a professional experience and confidence not obtainable from domestic experience. You feel that you have truly reached the upper ranks of your profession.”   –Steve and Eileene Welker

“This is, with no doubt, the best assignment I’ve ever had in all my life.”   –Dr. Poul Hansen
