QUOTES

It's not that the children say, 'Thank you for a wonderful time...' it's that they say, 'Thank you for changing my life'."

“I am frequently asked what motivated me to start the first Hole in the Wall Camp in 1988, and, while I would like to have something noble and inspiring to say about the origins of the Camps, the simple truth of the matter is that I wanted to acknowledge the role luck plays in everyone’s life—the beneficence of it in the lives of many, such as myself, and the random brutality of it in the lives of others, particularly children, who might not have a lifetime to make up for it.
