Building Bridges

I feel at the moment that feelings of being homesick and culture shock are being overridden by the power of hospitality that has been offered since arriving. In addition to this, there is the overwhelming realization that strong connections and friendships are being made due to this exchange. The fact that I am part of this, brings chills of emotion. I have believed for some time that experiences such as this are key to promoting communication, understanding and peace within our diverse world. I like to imagine everyone taking an opportunity to place themselves in a world that is not their own and watch the empathy, and us as individuals and professionals growing positively because of this. As an educator, I am excited to share what I have already learned about this great country India and its' people who are showing and teaching us so much. Love to all,
Erin
