One year at a Rotary event, the president of Rotary International said something that I will always remember. He said "if every teenager in the world were an exchange student, there would not be so many wars". He was correct, when you live in another country, you identify with the country and it's people.
I was reminded of that statement when watching the opening ceremonies of the Olympics last night. As the countries proudly marched in, I could put faces with so very many of those countries and once again the world felt like my family.
Wishing for peace in the world.
