Testimonies
“Magis has taught me to enjoy every moment; it has shown me how beautiful and fundamental it is to be deeply connected with nature; to value more the people who love me; to love myself for who I am; to erase my prejudices and look at people with the eyes of the heart; to trust that there is always a light that will guide us to the happiness.”
“There are no words to describe how impactful Magis has been for me. The experiences I have lived through, with a deep connection to Jesuit values, have changed my life, and I so incredibly grateful to have been able to participate in Magis Exchange.”
“After my exchange experience, I started seeing the world in a new perspective. I feel very confident in my abilities as a student, and I believe that I can make a change in this world.”
"Magis Exchange has taught me the value of knowing different realities and how we should seek harmony to live in it. This experience has created in me a new way of seeing the panorama of society. As well as seeing the relevance of the importance of covering fundamental issues regarding climate changes".
“I enjoyed Magis because it not only gave me the opportunity to travel the world and discover magical places and friends; but because it also allowed me to know myself, my virtues, my defects and the way in which I face and seek solutions to problems.”
“I believe Kenya came into my life to show me the woman I want to be, the brave and exemplary woman who is hope for the world. There are many challenges to face, especially when you do it from a gender perspective. Women in Africa must be strong. And yet, I think that without this experience now, I would not have been able to realize my strengths and virtues. Realize who I am, what I have and what I came to give to the world.”
"Magis Exchange has been incredible experience full of happiness and learning. It allowed me to see different realities, and the world from a a whole new perspective. It has given me the privilege to meet some of the most amazing people that are determined to change the world, giving me hope that I can also make this world a better place."
