“This remarkable, dedicated, young man spoke fluently, without notes, on Humanitarian Law and gave a very impressive, sincere and comprehensive lecture to the audience who had come to hear him. He gave a very powerful Powerpoint presentation, and had notes for those who required them. He had facts, figures, information on the Tsunami ramifications, needs of the people, logistics and response, and what Australian and International Red Cross were continuing to do. He then welcomed and fielded questions from the audience with knowledge and aplomb. His command of the English language is superior, his demeanour dynamic yet sincere, and empathetic, and he held the audience spellbound.”
- Mrs Sue Bridges, Cowra

“Members of the Tamworth Branch of Australian Red Cross would like to extend their grateful thanks to you for your recent visit. Members were most impressed with your informative presentation. We have also had very positive feedback from the schools you visited…”
- Kay Ledwos, Branch Secretary

“…I again take the opportunity to thank you for the time you have taken to come once again to the region. Your presentation on the role of Red Cross in regards to International Humanitarian Law to members, local community members and school communities was both informative and inspirational. Many members spoke to me after your presentation and expressed how proud they were of being a member of an organisation that carried out such an important role throughout the wold.

Thank you for taking the extra time to put together such a comprehensive presentation on the Tsunami. Again members expressed that they now understood more about the effect of such a natural disaster and what will be needed in reconstruction of the areas effect.

Prashanth, once again you have given so much personal time to come out West and share your passion. This had led to a greater understanding of functions of the Red Cross and its significance in world events. Often country areas are overlooked due to time and distance.

Once again thank you and we all wish you the very best in your studies this year and look forward to seeing you out West again.” - Gail Snelgar, Regional Manager, Australian Red Cross
