'Virtus Omnia Vincit' - Courage conquors all

"We spoke to Pavel's parents and they want to thank you for the great programme Pavel had in Holme Park. At first he had some difficulties in communication because he was the only Russian and his level of English was not very good but then as soon as he settled down he started to enjoy himself. Parents are very pleased that he had so much practice in English and they really admired the quality of the programme."
