I-Team Comments:

"It is good that Kinder Spass organized a tour of Goodwill, because it's wonderful that such organizations as Goodwill, which is designed to help people in need and give jobs and career opportunities to handicapped people. Seeing this had opened my mind about persons with handicaps and this really made me aware of the fact that just because a person has a disability, does not mean that they have are useless and have no chance to live an independent and constructive life."

The I-Team at the Houston Air Rescue Fire Fighting Station # 54.

A warm welcome was extended to the I-Teams by the Fire Department, which included viewing the fire station, riding in a fire truck and being allowed to spray water from the huge mobile truck extinguisher. The I-Teams was treated to a fajita dinner prepared by one of the greatest chef's among firemen.

I-Team Comments:

"Going to a real fire station is more educating and more rewarding than the things shown in the movies and that it was a unique opportunity to go behind the scene and see apart of the actual lifestyle of real firemen like Melissa and Nick."

I-Team Comments: 

"It's amazing that Kinder Spass arranged a personalized seminar by the Shriners Children's Hospital. Kinder Spass is serious about developing greater interest of youths and young adults internationally to open their hearts and minds concerning issues of misfortune with children...This type of encouragement, and drive by Kinder Spass to motivate the youths and young adults to become involved in meaningful careers has really opened my eyes...I also find it good that Shriners Hospital for Children allow children under the age of 18 to receive excellent medical care absolutely free of charge and that the Shriners Hospital accept and treat children without regard to race or religion."
