Intercultural communication and understanding is the essence of peace-building and the foundation for a better world. As world citizens, it is our responsibility to stand against social injustices; it is not our job to raise our voices, but to improve our arguments. We cannot act on behalf of that which we do not know, and education and experience are the initial steps towards raising awareness about development disparities within our world. My passion lies in alleviating these disparities through compassionate, and realistic actions; ones that do not speak on behalf of others, but are mobilized by their unheard voices.
