"I learned that feeling at home has nothing to do with any particular place on the earth. Home is a place where people welcome you, which I found with the volunteers in AEC-TEA." - Danäe Hüyjser, Holland, 2005

"My family moved to Salvador. I stayed for AEC-TEA. It is not only an association; it's like a home too, for local people. AEC-TEA supports and helps local volunteers, it opens opportunities. - Andre Mario Goncalves, Capim Grosso, 2005 (currently volunteering in Sweden)

"The volunteers do everything at AEC-TEA, so it shows people that anyone can do it. It helps people discover themselves, to know that they're able to change the world. I never wanted to change the world before—now I do! We learn that Capim Grosso is ours, not the mayor's!" - Luciene Freitas Mota, Capim Grosso
