Sarah Begum

"Sarah came and spoke to the Pegasus Network about her work and experiences. She gave a wonderful talk, remarkably full of insight into the different people she has met on her adventures. Her boundless enthusiasm shone through as she spoke about her motivation and concerns. It was particularly fascinating to hear of her experience living with the Huaoranis in Ecuador which launched her career. We look forward to hearing more from Sarah in years to come."

"Sarah came to the school to deliver an assembly based on her experiences journeying through the Amazon. Being an all-girls school the students could really connect to Sarah, and were inspired by the fact that someone they could relate to so closely could undertake such fantastic adventures. Your presentation really did engage with them and we all at Highbury Fields School wish you best for your future adventures!"

"Sarah spoke about her Amazon Souls film at the Adventure Travel Film Festival and kept the audience entertained and enthralled with her stories."

"Sarah came to visit our sixth form in October to talk about and screen her Amazon documentary. The film completely surpassed my already high expectations – absorbing, heartfelt and humorous. A class act of documentary film-making. Sarah has engaging, warm and perhaps above all as interested in her audience as she was interesting. The time she spent with a group of students at lunch after the lecture – the most popular lunch of the lecture series' in the last 2 years – and the effort she made to question and advise each of them is a testament to her passion for people. I think she left all the girls better informed and more inspired than before her lecture."

"Sarah it was a wonderful honour having you at our Nari Diganta International Women's day event on 8 March 2015 as a speaker and participant on our panel of successful British Bengali women. The team at Nari diganta and audience most appreciated your work in that it brought home to women your ability to break free of stereotypical, sexual, cultural, religious bigotry to explore adventurously and achieve success as a woman. We would be pleased to have your presence again in order to empower and encourage women to do the same."
