My experience to date with Global Xchange has on the whole been one of unexpected welcome surprise.
Both volunteers have integrated themselves into our family and I believe the whole process has been enjoyable with a fantastic opportunity to learn from a culture that is open, honest, creative, and expressive and with an ability to appreciate the moment spiritually and looking away from the materialistic approach to life.
What really hit home was watching my daughter sitting on salma’s knee picking flowers in the middle of Glasgow green. This would never had happened /allowed to happen thirty years ago when I was my daughters age and it was heart warming with a huge sense of pride as watched .Erin play away without any knowledge of racism or prejudice .Although there has been 30 years progression since was a child with cultural integration, it is only one step down the generation line .I am very grateful my children are living and learning in a much more tolerant and enlightened world.
