Making a Difference
A driving force within
is its desire to make a difference.
As citizens of first-world countries, we are so incredibly lucky and fortunate. Most of us take for granted the multitude of fortunes we live and experience daily.
International travel can be a startling awakening. It is difficult to shake the shock and sadness upon realizing the diverse standards of living and opportunities found elsewhere in the world. It is also so enlightening to see the strength and desire of the people living in what we would consider horrible situations.
One international travel story:
"While backpacking through India, I met a young girl, dirty and in a tattered dress, on the street begging for money. She explained, in perfect English, the money was to pay for milk for her younger brother. I was taken by her maturity and captivating personality. We started to chat. I asked her about her language ability. It turned out that she could speak many different languages with a high level of proficiency (English, French, Japanese...). She then told me that she had never spent a single day in school and her dream was to be able to go to school. She had learned all her language skills on the street out of necessity - to be able to communicate with the people she asked for money. I have not forgotten that day or that young girl."
While training and preparing our graduates for an exciting international career accompanied by travel, we at also aim to give back to the international community. We aim to be a training institute with a heart and to serve as a role model for the fact that everyone can make a difference.
