Last Wednesday I met with Sveta to study English. We talked about what’s going on in our lives a little and then she shared that she needs some information on the culture of one of the Middle Eastern countries for one of her classes. She teaches at the National Art Academy and because very fascinated with this particular country. I happen to be very fascinated with that country as well – and many of our patrons are from there. So I invited three of them, and we had a great conversation. Sveta met some new people, and we both learned a lot about Middle East. It’s great to be connecting people, and to have a place like UEC, where it can be easily done. There are zero chances they would meet otherwise, and have some understanding, had it not been for the UEC because many Ukrainians are prejudiced against foreigners from poorer countries. We hope to be a place where those standards and prejudices have no room.
