Working Together is Better
We Create Our Collective Future Daily
Moving to another country opens new doors on a number of levels. There are opportunities to get to know new people, new customs and perhaps a new language (or even two). One of the intriguing things about living in Ecuador is having daily exposure to people who have lived here for generations and whose customs have served them well for hundreds if not thousands of years; so why do so many outsiders feel perfectly entitled to land here and tell the native born how they should live their lives?
As North Americans move in it is natural that they bring their background experiences, cultural values and ways of looking at life with them. Sometimes these things are helpful and sometimes they erect barriers.
