Judith Muller de Perez Balladare says, "I attended Surval in 2003 specifically for the Winter program: since I was in a Panamanian school schedule this was the best time for me. I went with two friends from Panama and left with friends from all over the world.
Coming from a small country where we have to care for our security being exposed to an environment like Switzerland and specifically Montreux was liberating. We felt free but at the same time taken care of.
I really enjoyed having breakfast at the dining room with that magnificent view and great food of course!
Part of our program took place in Andermatt. There we skied every day and got a chance to interact with everyone, different cultures and backgrounds but we felt like a family. Even through time we have maintained contact thanks to social media.
Back in Panama I graduated from Law and Political Science and also from Accounting School so I am a Tax Lawyer. Currently I’m not on the work force but rather stay home with my three soon to be four kids and my husband. I enjoy writing children’s stories, cooking and running.
I recently visited Surval and I can tell you that it gets better with the years, if only I could go back. I surely want my girls to go when they reach the minimum age. "
