My decision to serve at Networks of Nations stems from a core belief in the importance of embracing diversity  within our community. By engaging with international students, I am afforded the opportunity to not only extend hospitality and friendship but also to gain invaluable insights into different cultures, perspectives, and experiences. Through meaningful interactions and shared experiences, I am able to foster cross-cultural understanding and create a welcoming environment where all individuals feel valued and respected.  

By investing my time and energy into this ministry, I hope to not only make a tangible difference in the lives of international students but also to contribute to a more interconnected and understanding global community. My own journey as an international student has instilled in me a deep sense of gratitude and a passion for serving others, and I am honored to play a role in enhancing the experiences of students who are embarking on similar journeys.
