MADISON
"One of the things that impacted me the most were the kids who live in the village of Kotlik. They are so proud to express their culture and ways of life."
CORA
"Kotlik has taught me that wherever you go, or whomever you meet, one thing everyone will always have in common is a smile."
JADE
"When I visited Kotlik my life was truly forever changed. I had never previously been to a village such as that and it showed me the world was much bigger than I thought."
TAVA
"Kotlik has proven to me that no matter where you are in the world, if you surround yourself with genuine people you will always feel at home."
