My experience of Global xchange has been an extremely positive one. My volunteers have enhanced my life greatly both culturally and personally both of my children have loved the experience and my daughter has told everyone about her girls from a different land.
I have learned a lot about a religion which is published in a negative light and is wronged by this. I have found the volunteers to be demonstrative, thoughtful, welcoming and positive.
I have also learned a lot about a country gripped by a group of thugs hell bent on squashing the creativity, richness and grace of its own people through cowardly archaic and sexist practices.
It is with this in mind that I am extremely humbled and proud of the women from Pakistan who have made this journey and have openly accepted my own culture and behaviour with no sign of distains or prejudice and the men for embarrassing my forward and stubborn attitude.
As for my volunteer from this land I have found her openness, confidence and beautiful nature with both Nature with both myself and my children warming and has completely justified my reasons for sharing on this journey.
