"Yara was great thanks. She was brilliant addressing our Lower Sixth boys: it’s rare to see 140-odd of them so attentive! Her hard-core credentials were established with some pretty tough stories about leeches, jungle marches and floods but, it was her inspiring message that we can all make a difference to the world through thoughtful conservation projects and the ripple effects these can have really set her apart. Trees have a great advocate in Yara and I know our boys are looking at them differently this morning!"

"Her talk was incredibly inspiring and showed the importance of stepping out of your comfort zone. I spent the next two days excitedly looking up volunteering opportunities abroad."

"Yara speaks from her heart about the environment and voluntary work abroad and how we can all make a positive difference to the world we live in, her passion is infectious!"

"Great presentation on the jungle by Yara. She told her story of how her young London life wasn't satisfying her so she made a change. Stripped of creature comforts Yara travelled the globe and sought after adventures we only read in books or see on TV, truly life changing experiences. Students were enthralled at her story and at the end many students stayed behind to ask questions. Yara is a fantastic role model!"

"Yara has a positive aura that radiates throughout her talk. She engages strongly with the youth when sharing her own life experiences, motivating youth in believing in themselves and assisting them in visualising the bigger picture. She works well at inspiring young people to develop themselves with their own individual life experiences"

"When Yara speaks to a group of young people they are attentive and listening as she makes what she has to say exciting, interesting and appropriate for her audience."

“At the Newark Well Being Show, I met Yara Ghrewati. During our conversations not only did I find her a captivating lady, the information she passed on, seems to be of national importance. Anyone with an interest in The U.K’s ecology should to listen to Yara’s insightful words. She talks about our National Environmental Heritage and the healing properties of being within woodland and forests.”

“Nature is humankinds healer. Yara is one of finest advocates of the environmental preservation message. Listening to her talk about the differing aspects of her work is inspiring. I would not be surprised if this lady achieves international recognition for her clarity and ability to explain the problems we all have to face. Thank You Yara.”

"Yara is an inspirational speaker that holds the attention and imagination of her audience"

"Yara's session was good. I enjoyed her talk, she definitely did exactly as we requested and was lovely to communicate with and very prompt and well organised."

"Thank you for arranging for Yara to visit, she was fantastically enthusiastic and was a great speaker to start our series of lectures. She pitched her talk appropriately and had plenty more to say!"

"It was a very good session thanks - a smaller audience than I would have liked, but Yara was very energetic and engaging and managed to cover a wide range of topics within the hour, which the pupils were extremely interested in. Pupils have taken on board many of the messages from her talk, and I hope that we can bring her back to do a workshop style event with our eco club in due course as she is very local to us."

"Yara’s session went very well thank you. She was really engaging and persuasive. Thank you very much for setting this up for us."
