MAST was one of the greatest options I’ve made in my life.
My goal was to learn English, but I learned much more. My experience at the dairy farm was great. Philippe and Heather Bouchard were my hosts in Tigerton, WI back in 1993/94. I’ve made friends that last until today and had a chance to share an apartment with friends from all over the world.
The program gave me the chance to learn English and meet people that open great opportunities for my life. Due to English I had a chance to invite an U.S. company to bring their technology to South America, in which I worked for almost 20 years. Nowadays, I’m working for another U.S. company developing a new technology on soil health.
Mast Program helped opening up my mind to find new opportunities, gave me confidence to face unknown challenges. Thanks to Mr. Jones, Sue Rains-Johnson, Mary Buschette, David Pratt and for sure the MAST team today.
Looking forward to send my daughter some time soon to the program.
