"This GLA program in India taught me how to appreciate another totally different culture from a distance, not to judge it or intervene in it. During this trip, I learned how to see the unique beauty in other cultures.
This ability is very important because it makes the world a more peaceful place."
- Wendi, former Broken Earth project participant
