Empathy

We live in different societies, inhabit different climatic zones, employ different alphabets, use different tools, wear different clothing, celebrate different holidays. There is great value in this diversity, which allows us to see the world in as many different ways. We each have our own story, and everyone’s story is important.

This diversity of cultures yields a multiplicity of stories about the world. Some resonate with us while others may feel beyond our comprehension—but all deserve to be heard. We believe in a world that empathic and mutual awareness and respect can change for the better. We are closer to each other than we realize, if only we come face to face.
