Diversity Thoughts

A Senegalese poet said 'In the end we will conserve only what we love. We love only what we understand, and we will understand only what we are taught.' We must learn about other cultures in order to understand, in order to love, and in order to preserve our common world heritage.
–Yo Yo Ma White House Conference on Culture and Diplomacy

Embracing diversity is one adventure after another, opening new paths of discovery that connect an understanding to caring, listening and sharing with others who are different than ourselves.”
