in Argentina and The Mongolian Institute for Cultural Exchange.

 “I believe that awareness and positive cultural exchange are learned by trying to interpret the traditions and social conditions of other cultures. There is nothing more frightening than fear and ignorance of the unknown. This breeds distrust that is often the obstacle to healthy cultural exchange. I am committed to help bridge this
gap through Children United by Experience International culture exchange programs.”
