WHAT PEOPLE SAY
"Larry Lansburgh’s thought provoking presentation on the triumphs of the Achuar people of Ecuador in preserving their land and their culture mesmerized our audience on many different levels. The message of positive alliances, positive attitudes and investing in our young people is important in any culture and a lesson to us all. The ecological message is accentuated by the images of the rainforest."

"Larry's presentations at Sierra College were more like gifts -- gifts of travel, of understanding, and of compassion. Thanks to his efforts, my students were provided a brilliant window into the real world of the 21st century. Dream People deftly weaves geography, ecology, culture, and the realities of globalization into real cloth for the viewer.
"My students were eager to learn more -- and to stand up for what is only right for their fellow Earth-citizens."

"Larry Lansburgh's presentation was a wonderful addition to our Hungry Planet exhibition. He provided an inspiring perspective on another culture, which enhanced the ability of our staff, volunteers, and the general public to think as global citizens. The lecture also provided a stimulus for further outreach into the surrounding communities.
"As well as being a great speaker, Larry is very well prepared and easy to work with. He was able to help us publicize his guest lecture months in advance."
