Dear all,

This is the second week since I left India, where I spent one week in a scientific conference. This experiencing and interesting trip enables me to realize how much several and different people can convene to defend a major cause like peace, social justice and integrity, human rights, etc.

India is a big country, there people are welcoming and very hard working, and it was crazy for me to realize how much life is hard to win in all places of this world! I guess that wherever you are and whatever you do, you can have problems to go forward, to realize yourself, but I am convinced this is definitely a common deal for the humanity.

I enjoyed Indian food (chicken biriani!!) but there was too spices…I don’t like spices!!!

India has advanced technology companies and famous medical centers in the region; I guess this will be my first target after my general medicine studies!!!

What I remarked and deeply affects my mind is how Indians are relatively linked…I saw people crying at Mumbai airport… I read emotions in many faces while saying good bye to their relatives and friends.

This was uncommon to me…but it made me feel guilty because I seemed likely ignoring how important and mysterious is a relative, a friend, a parent…

Dear friends, after the genocide in my country, some people lost faith, they lost the essence of living, enjoying or making a family. But what I saw at Mumbai airport gave me the meaning of what really a family is…the strengths of being supported by yours.

We were three persons from Africa in the conference among several Asia- pacific delegates, this was another experience to live, however, unless the color of skin, hair, languages, and other different aspects , mostly people behave, eat, enjoy the same way…this is surprising!!!

I will not forget Sri Lanka students I met, so kind and friendly guys; we had a lot fun and did shopping together.

The trip was a nourishing experience for my living; I observed many things and realized many facts!

Dear colleagues, I can’t finish without raising your attention on the fact that we, as young people, are living a troubled and struggling world, I am sure that our generation will manage hardly in other to survive than ever in world history. Sometimes this is boring and scaring, but I can ensure you that we are on good way…OWYP is greatly a good school where we can learn a lot that can build our social and intellectual capacity…by skype chats, retreats and mentoring, we are realizing ourselves and contributing to the community welfare… simply I can say congratulations…you make me feel warm!!!

Yours,

Hubert
