Today, I had the opportunity to have met Skylor and two of his colleagues at one of the dollar tree stores that we usually buy some common household items. He was absolutely very out going, down to earth, easy to speak to and understand. Professional no doubt, that I do love about companies and organizations, when their people are professional and down to earth. He was informative of what AmnestyUSA is about and the importance of human rights ; especially when one has children, little itty bitties that are the present and future of ones family, as well as those who will make the communities. He was great, him and his colleagues. What absolute great staff members ya'll have. It was a pleasure meeting them. I hope, that the following moment I may find myself meeting them again, I have the financial means to be able to donate the amounts they need from an individual. Thank you again for a great conversation and information on Amnesties attributes to helping people be well, lively and living free. As a mother of two a teenage boy and a toddler daughter, wellness, safety, good environments and people are necessities in our lives. (especially since not once did he or any of his colleagues ever called their moms crazy or made me feel uncomfortable with any creeper behaviors, as I had to correct another guy from another charity about something he had belittled his mom for a moment there and felt uncomfortable with his manager who kept pointing his phones camera on me and my toddler).

When I was 15, I went to Seeds of Peace, a leadership camp for teenagers in communities divided by conflict. I had 90 minutes of dialogue each day with Israelis, Palestinians, Egyptians, Jordanians, and other Americans. We yelled at each other about settlements, the right of return, the holocaust, and 1948. The rest of the day we played, ate, slept, and laughed together. It was the place I learned most about other cultures and perspectives. I started to question the things I thought were facts and gained the confidence to be a leader. I came back as a counselor in the summer of 2015 and I supported teenagers while they engaged in difficult conversations with people they might never have otherwise interacted with (Israelis and Palestinians; Pakistanis, Afghans, and Indians; teenagers from northern Maine and some of the Somali refugees who were living in Portland). I had spent a lot of time working on farms and at my college's garden, and after my first summer as a counselor I realized how much I wanted to share my passion for growing food with these campers. I applied for grants and raised enough money to build a large garden at camp, 24 4'x8' raised beds. I gathered a group of volunteers and we build, filled, and planted the beds. Then I spent the summer back as a counselor, gardening with the campers and delivering fresh vegetables to the dining hall. The campers really took ownership over the space. During their free time they would come by to weed, think, or snack. One dialogue group would harvest carrots together after their daily dialogues--it allowed for a reflective and communal moment after a difficult 90 minutes. It was the best form of giving back because I gained a ton. I learned so much from creating a space to grow food and talk about it, and I learned way more from watching the incredible campers engage with the garden.
