I recently discussed the process of taking children traveling and what it can offer. I believe the best thing it can do is shake assumptions and judgments. I found the same thing happening to me in my travels...seeing unexpected balances to things I could initially only perceive as deficits in culture or resources. Isn't the human spirit a triumphant thing, when it can find so many ways to create meaning and joy and value in such a range of contexts. Thanks Cheryl, a post I can easily relate to!
