Review for Operation Understanding DC, Washington, DC, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I was a member of the second class of OUDC. I can confidently say that the experience 13 years ago has made a major impact on my life. I learn so much about myself as an African American Woman and so much about the Jewish culture as well. Since being involved, I have completed a Master's degree in Psychology and always challenged my professors and classmates to be culturally sensitive. I have traveled around South East Asia, to learn more about their cultures and customs. I am a pastor of a Multicultural church in Columbia, MD. and I believe my life mission is to build understanding between people, which is currently focused on the invisible population: the homeless. OUDC was a great base to open your eyes to the world around you and feel free to ask questions and erase ignorance. As a result we have fabulous leaders who will take this experience and transcend the common themes into their professional and personal lives, as I have done.

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

recreate itself in several different cities and countries, making sure the message is spread.
