Testimonials
Jill Derderian, Consul General, Durban - South Africa.
""On behalf of "Team U.S." from the U.S. Consulate General in Durban, I write to extend our appreciation to the entire Celebrating Humanity International team for an unparalleled experience in cultural sensitization and team-building! The two-day session with Celebrating Humanity International made our diverse team stronger and more supportive of one another.
We have participated in team-building activities for the past several years, but many of my colleagues told me that Celebrating Humanity International's program was by far the most meaningful and most effective in fostering good communication, mutual respect, and a strong spirit of cooperation among our multi-cultural staff-- "exactly what was needed" in the words of one staff member.
I particularly appreciate your thoughtfulness and absolute dedication to Celebrating Humanity International's goal of “bringing change to the world,” which came across in all that you did, and made the session so worthwhile.
Your organization was selected to conduct our team-building in large measure because follow-through beyond the event is an integral part of your method. We did not desire a once-off feel good event. You more than met our expectations, providing a kick-start and a path for us to engage in a fun but serious process of continually developing and nurturing our Consulate team.
I look forward to staying in contact with you and your team so that we can maintain the positive impact of our Celebrating Humanity International experience."" - 2009

“I have the privilege of knowing Brian Moore for most of the past decade. Brian is a gentle man with a profound understanding of the human spirit. He has the ability to reach across boundaries and through barriers to connect with people from a broad spectrum of cultures.
Brian is a remarkable presence of the human experience and brings out the best in all who interact with him. He is a devoted father and husband as well as example of what it takes to be a strong man of compassion in a challenging world.
I am fortunate to call him friend and colleague.”

""There were times when attitudes were so hard and fast that I thought it would be an impossible task to create teams within groups of people that we were working with but Brian and Arthie with incredible insight and genuine humanity were able to find the chink in the armour and break down barriers that had been built and protected for decades.
From those tenuous and fragile beginnings, many teams soared to great heights achieving outstanding results.”
