Sometimes, in our own culture and environment, people (may) even think we are odd, or are up to something if we show such generosity.<br />We have loads to learn from these people(s). I think it is in countries and cultures like this, in which the greatest personal wealth is 'humanware', where the genuine traits and living examples of communities (or practice) are to be found.<br />Thanks for sharing. You are capturing your moments there very well, and I am enjoying reading them ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-652950132925204088.post-67004509900524573882010-08-21T11:45:35.525+10:002010-08-21T11:45:35.525+10:00Cristina: I have been challenged to think whether ...Cristina: I have been challenged to think whether I am as welcoming when strangers come to my country - I am not sure I am?!<br /><br />Carolyn - brilliant idea :)Sarah Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00480597227427423793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-652950132925204088.post-41609961461275508632010-08-21T09:55:00.295+10:002010-08-21T09:55:00.295+10:00What a wonderful experience.

what a great story.

My suitcase got lost, but I had never felt much 'richer' People were so generous with me that I often wonder what I had done... to realise it was not me but them - their kindness and welcoming attitude towards me ...a stranger, a foreigner. I truly experienced community spirit. Funny enough I was talking about communities of Practice and was able to make the analogy! And Yes, I truly believe in the power of the web for weaving connections, establishing deep bonds. One of my great learning mates lives in Sudan. We still haven't met face to face but we act as if we have been in the same physical many many times. <br />Keep the posts coming. They are truly inspiring :-)<br /><br />Love your new clothes!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
