Putting into writing my personal experience in this educational journey I started a year ago is very challenging. I’ve been asking myself why is it so hard to write about something that is so close to my beliefs about education and I realize what I’ve experienced is much deeper than simple learning. It’s about sharing mutual understanding, working towards common goals and impacting education in a meaningful and sustainable way.
I was once again welcomed to Washington DC by being a part of a special and memorable experience. Spending the last night of Hanukkah and the first night of my visit with my dearest friends, lighting the candles and singing songs set the right mood for the upcoming days. Afterwards, we were warmly welcomed by Melissa in her beautiful home, but you’ll hear more about her and the special dinner she hosted if you keep reading.
Feeling like home when you’re so far away, surrounded by caring and giving people, gives you sense of belonging and unity.
