Hope you keeping well. The cutting you gave me doing GREAT!! Hope to plant it outside after winter. You taught me so many things that you cross my mind every now and then, as I THANK you for all you did for me!!!!!!! It was the best thing I could ever do. What I liked the most about the course is all the detail you add in the program. I’m still interested in any other training courses you have to offer.

Hi Lin,
Thank you very much for sending us the Tourist Guide code of conduct and I hope you had a fantastic weekend, and this week will be as fruitful. My journey back home was fun and less congested. I would also like to thank SATSA for providing such a wonderful course to its members, and for you delivering it so well.

Dear Lin,
During my life I have attended a lot of courses and seminars, but never have I been to a course that I have enjoyed and appreciated as much as your SATSA course. The course material was both informative and vital to any potential Tour Operator, but nothing comes close to the world of knowledge and experience that you shared with us during the course.
Thank you for being such a loving, caring person! I feel blessed to know you.
Regards

“We congratulate Madibeng Municipality and SATSA for the Giant Step they took to develop and show interest in the SMME and under-developed community. I commit myself to
‘plant’ it by sharing what I learnt with the community and coming generations.”

“Excellent course! Just should be advertised more! Thank you for all the hard work and time you put in – I really enjoyed it and learnt a lot!”
