Second Day of Work?
Well, not
really. Today the four of us had
cultural training; Tanu also joined us for half of the day. I don’t know what they tell their bosses, but
whatever they say, it lets them come with us all day J. And we all enjoy the company.
Cultural
training was a great experience! I learned more about the Indian culture in one
day than I have in all my culture and history classes. The most important thing that I learned is
everything that you think about India is true; and so is the opposite. Our instructor was one of the most
interesting people I have ever met. She’s lived all over the world, including Egypt, the UK, France, Peru,
India (her mother country) and more! She has taken part in the Sri Lanka
Tsunami relief effort and other humanitarian jobs in India. She has a background in anthropology,
languages, and has studied law briefly too. She was perfect for global and cultural training. She has experienced so
much stuff first hand and was able to share the love of travelling and global
awareness with us today. I was very
grateful for this experience.
Every day on my
way to work I see firsthand the poverty first hand.
