Review for Operation Understanding DC, Washington, DC, USA
As the parent of a Black, Jewish child, I seek out ways in which I can help her to know, understand and participate in both of her cultures. Operation Understanding-DC, in bridging the gap between African-American and Jewish rising seniors, not only has done that for students from both camps, but for my daughter in her own skin. She has gained such knowledge and respect for herself and for others that she is much, much happier and her confidence level is through the roof! She is now eager to being fostering and facilitating this understanding on her own. At the very beginning of her experience with OUDC, she encountered a teacher who scoffed at her dual identity. This upset her gremendously, and she didn't know how to handle it. Now, however, she is formulating plans to conduct a diversity workshop/program at her school!
