Anna's Intern Corner 04/15/09


Hi Friends!

This week I've been reminded how interconnected our family is and how much we have in common!  So many of our fellows have already met during previous programs and are meeting up at conferences after Hansen.  It is always exciting to hear how our web of peace-makers is growing.

I was also reminded of how alike we are, no matter how far apart we live.  I posted a comment on facebook about a singer/songwriter that I enjoy listening to, and promptly got a note back from Haseeb in Pakistan saying how he really likes the same artist.  I really encourage all of you to get in touch via facebook before the program to get to know your fellow participants.

Also, don't be afraid of how different you might be, because I assure you, you will have much more in common than you realize.  Last year, our favorite Kenyan told us about how much she liked Usher and we realized that no matter where you live, music seems to transcend all barriers.  However, I am sure that you will all have much more than music in common!  Get to know each other and I'm sure you won't be disappointed!
