Even though we usually have the summer off, this week we are having a special english camp at the Somali center. Kaylee has done an awesome job of putting this week together. We are practicing filing out applications for jobs and going through the interviewing process, ordering food at a restaurant, going to the store – everyday life situations. Us teachers get to role play and walk the students through these scenarios. It feels almost like a Vacation Bible School week. Peace Catalyst International is taking some time with us in the mornings to share some of their vision for this community and how we can better engage with other cultures. It really is a great place and I’m thankful to be here.
Wanting a cross-cultural experience? You don’t have to travel to find it… there are communities from all different cultures right in our backyard. Find about refugee communities in your city and what God is doing in them. I love these clips from the movie The Visitor that gives a great picture of cross-cultural interaction.
