 World Genesis Foundation ... "Leave no child without hope for the future" |
Mrs. Heather Caton, brought a Cultural Awareness Program, on behalf of World Genesis Foundation. It was an opportunity in the beginning of the program to have everyone in one room and to talk about culture and what is it and it allowed the students to share about their own cultures and experience with culture. “It was a great way to set the stage. Many of these students are here in the US for the first time. Many have never been in a room with other students from 21 different countries. There was something for all of us to learn from each other and to learn that we also shared much in common,” said Heather.
The program began with a presentation about what is culture and how it is developed. It went into different aspects of culture and how sometimes one thing in one country does not mean the same thing in another country. A short film was shown that got the students laughing. We spoke about how we do not always see things how they are but how we are. We had a break out session where students were in groups according to their birthday month, which allowed youth to meet new friends and they already had something in common. A student from each group spoke about what they learned from others in the group, they had a chance to share an experience. At the end the students were given a paper square. They were asked to make a picture about the culture in their country. There were plenty of materials and space around the room. It was a social activity. We collected all the squares and they were put together in a cultural quilt that hung for the rest of the camp. It was a symbol of our not only our differences, which make us unique but what we have in common that hold us together.
