Review for Operation Understanding DC, Washington, DC, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Our son had the privilege and honor to be in Class 6. His participation in OUDC was indeed "life changing" for him and the entire family. My husband and I got to see OUDC in action when we hosted my son's group in our Atlanta apt during the group's visit to the Civil Right South. We were amazed by the group's discussion of the day's events. The young people were comfortable enough with each other to be brutally honest, but respectful in their comments. They agreed to disagree. They realized that their life experience shaped their world views. They had the opportunity to envision themselves in the other person's shoes.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

My son's experience encouraged me to join a group for adults in Atlanta called the World Pilgrims, composed of Muslims, Christians and Jews, black and white, who travelled together to Turkey, Moroco and Spain, to create understanding and fellowship.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

incredibly dedicated and devoted to the kids and the cause!
