Preparing for my interviews, I've been compiling thought provoking questions for the Croatian students that my readers would want answers to. Much of my excitement is stemmed from wondering what those answers might be and the possibility of making a connection between my soon to be Croatian friends and those back home. If just one child can have new insight to life in a distant land, appreciation for culture of a world far, far away then I will be a happy woman.
Recently, I heard someone say that the world is just one big family, a family of the human race. She was a speaker at a luncheon I attended and her speech was about the importance of family. It was like she was reading my mind and plucking thoughts right out of my head. I come from a big Italian family who is incredibly important to me. We are loud, eat a lot and don't always get along. But we love each other and take care of each other with a profound sense of family. Not everyone feels that way about the people in their lives and they certainly don't feel that way about people they have never met. I suppose that's one of the reasons why this project is so important to me and why I shall spend the rest of my life trying to unite this human race family.
Peace,
Chris
I promise stories of Hungary will resume next time!
