Testimonials

“Lindsay's visit to ISF was fantastic.  She was a joy to work with.  The students were captivated and the teachers were very complimentary.  I would recommend a visit with her anytime.”

— Annie Tam, Head Librarian (secondary) of The Independent Schools Foundation Academy

“People always say Chinese culture is so amazing, but they don’t really know a lot about it. Lindsay Varty’s talk on Hong Kong’s Sunset Survivors will heighten your local awareness and generate even more appreciation for the charm and culture that makes HK so special.”

— Susan Soskin West, event coordinator at the American Women’s Association HK

“Lindsay’s curiosity for people and level of awareness of her community is the engine for Sunset Survivors. She has organically created a link that brings the people and their stories to life. We collaborated to create a popular speaking event for colleagues.”

— Peter B. Williams, Treasury and innovation professional at Citi
