Nathan, I have often marveled at your stories of your wonderful work weaving international students into your community. Now you have shared the origin story and I understand both the heart and passion you bring to this work. Our family welcomed a mother and daughter from Senegal into our home for a few years. We didn't have a big place by US standards - three-and-a-half bedrooms and one full bath for the six of us. But of course, that is a very large home to many in other countries. Our kids saw that there is always room to share and we conversed in English and French with some Wolof thrown in for good measure. It helped set a value in our lives to think in a more open way about family, caring for others, how much space we need, what is our common humanity, and what we can learn from other cultures. My wish is that everyone has a chance to benefit from welcoming those from foreign lands into their homes and hearts. Thank you, Nathan, for sharing your story of self.
