"In my partnership with The White Tiger Mentors they have proven to be very Dependable , Knowledgeable, and the most professional Mentor Group I have ever been associated with. In the five plus years I have been in Second Life they are hands down the best in my opinion."

"To those who wish to become a volunteer helper: this is not a job, and there are no classes where they teach people on how to help others: this is a skill that needs to grow with you, within your heart. People who help do that for joy: they feel satisfied just by helping, without waiting for anything in exchange. That's the spirit of any volunteer service. I joined White Tiger Mentors because I have this skill and I was looking for a way to increase it inside Second Life. Their classes and the group channel usage are very useful to find tools to make me help new Residents better."

"When I came into SL in the Spring of 2009, my main motivtion was to perform my music. This meant that besides learning the "nuts and bolts" of SL, I also needed to learn how to bring my sound into SL, make contacts with those involved with SL music, etc. I was extremely fortunate to come under the wing of Treacle Darlandes who was (and still is) extremely patient and thorough in guiding me through this process, whether it was upagrading my appearance, adding animation to my avatar, introducing me to some contacts in the SL music world, and much else. I would not be anywhere near as far along in acclimating to SL and reaching my music goals without Treacle's wonderful help."
"Treacle also has high ethical standards and actively promotes honesty and civility in SL which is a benefit to all those she assists and to SL in general."
"I would just like to add that I have been to visit White Tiger Help Island that Treacle has recently built and I was hugely impressed with the creative combination of help, fun, and information that it provides for newcomers and in fact anyone who wants to explore and learn more in SL."
"The White Tiger Mentors group is also invariably helpful and supportive, seeming to always have someone ready and knowledgeable to resolve SL or technical issues."
"I see Treacle and her colleagues as a huge asset to SL."

"The White Tiger Mentors group is an inspiration and a reference as a Volunteers Team for the Ajuda SL Brasil group.
Since most of the WTM are experienced Residents and also worked as Volunteers and SL Mentors in many regions, they have a great knowledge base and experience in dealing and helping the Residents from various countries, cultures and different languages.
Ajuda SL Brasil is a relative new group, focused in helping the Portuguese speaking Residents and many of our Members even not having the same experience than the WTM group has, however we would like to offer the same helpful hand and respect for Residents and Newcomers."

Ajuda SL Brasil co- Founder

"Since having joined the WTM group, I've observed that the training is very high quality and very thorough. The support I've received from other WTM group Members is fantastic. Knowledge and tools are freely shared. As hard as the WTM Members work, they play just as hard, too, and everyone is made to feel welcome as a part of the group. 
At first I thought I would be expected to leave the other Mentors group I belong to in order to continue with the White Tiger Mentors, but it has not been so. If anything, my knowledge and experience of working with new Residents with disabilities, along with the patience required to determine the new Residents' needs and address them, has enriched my ability to serve with the WTM. And when I need help, I can ask for it and know assistance will be given in a friendly and supportive way. Everyone's point of view is respected, everyone is professional. This is a great group of mentors!"
