"We were like caged birds because we never have opportunities like this were people come and talk to us about issues of governance, our rights as citizens, and responsibilities but Activista came and you guys just opened the doors for us. I hope you come more often to our community to have this kind of engagement. We have learned individually and as community from Activista’s engagement, and this has shaped our opinion, and understanding of governance and citizen participation"
