Parent Testimonial
Dear DECATS and Debusk foundation coordinators,
My Daughter, Natalia, has gone to DECATS for 2 years and will go again this summer. I have never seen her so excited about any educational program as she is for this one. She loves it so much that she has told me that when she is too old to qualify to attend as a student, that she wants to be a mentor for DECATS students and volunteer and help the teachers. Thank you for enriching her and helping her develop her skills of responsibility and knowledge of the world!
Sincerely,
Tish Rudwick, St. Theresa's Catholic School, Austin, Tx.
