"This course has taught me how to take a good look at myself about things that I thought I knew. It has opened new doors for me to deal very effectively my failures. I have not experienced thorough joy in a long time. But as of yesterday, I went home—well—joyous because I felt renewed. This is just the beginning of a brand new day for me… The drills are going to help me to fix my marriage and that is a real success."
— M. Djiffa

"The Master Learners Course has helped me to go within myself and address some problems that I was feeling as a child. It has helped me to understand words more clearly and how important good communication skills are in life when speaking to other people."

Detox successes:

"After the third week of detoxing everything became clearer in my head. My perception, smell, sight and temper all became keen and under control... I've become more in tune with my inner life force and source of real energy. I thank Allah and everyone responsible for bringing this technology to our people and community."

"Since this program my head has been a lot clearer and not fogged up as it used to be. I find that its easier to feel euphoria without the drugs that had made that hard to feel or gain. My skin feels like new and so does my mind. I am glad I got the opportunity to have been able to do this and get a start fresh again."
— I. Cumbe

"When I first started gang banging I was very bad. I used different kinds of drugs marijuana, primos, crystal, alcohol, cocoa puffs and I tried sherm too. I didn't go to school. I dropped out cause I wanted to be with my home boys going to do bad things to my "enemies".

I stole a lot of cars and mugged a lot of people too. I use to tell my mom to borrow money from people so I would go and buy drugs, but she didn't know what it was for. Sometimes I would come home sometimes days later. I went in and out of jail.

But now since I have been attending World Literacy Crusade...believe it or not, but little by little I started to change. I would say to myself this stuff is nonsense. I didn't believe I could and would change."
