Review for Chewonki Foundation Inc, Wiscasset, ME, USA
The Chewonki Foundation changed my younger sister's life. It has been a deeply inspiring experience to witness her transformation from a shy, introverted girl to a strong young woman capable of leading a group of 13 year olds on a paddling trip in the North Woods of Maine. Chewonki opened her eyes to the wonders of the natural world, taught her to recognize 50 birdsongs, and instilled values about conservation and responsible land use. Chewonki also helped her become a leader, which is a set of skills she employs not only when leading trips for them each summer, but also at college and in other situations.
