Purpose of the CCI Project Every person grows up in a culture. Every person lives in a culture. It may be that a person’s culture naturally includes interaction with other cultures. Or a person can live fairly insulated from cultures other than their own. This Cross-Cultural Immersion Project is an opportunity for you to encounter people from another culture and to grow from the experience. After you have completed this project you should be able to: • Recognize elements of your own and another’s culture. • Reflect on the significance and value of elements in another culture. • Demonstrate respect for those of another culture. • Display Christ-like values when engaging others of a different culture. To do this, plan and spend at least 20 of your 200 hours of Field Study by serving with and among people with a culture different from your own. It could with people across town or around the world. The choice is up to you and the resources you have. The purpose of this assignment is for you to learn how to love and interact with those who are different from you. The focus is on interaction, encounter, and immersion! It is NOT evangelistic or missional. Of course, we must always be witnesses for Christ...

...HORRY GEORGETOWN TECHNICAL COLLEGE INTERVIEW OF ELAINE STEWART JENNIFER C. Dietz hus-205 PROFESSOR Renee R. Causey 17 October 2013 For this assignment I chose to interview the most influential women in my entire life. My Nana, Elaine Stewart. Elaine Stewart was born the 24th of July 1937 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Elaine continued to live in Milwaukee until she met her husband of 56 years Harry Stewart my Papa. Elaine and Harry have 5 of their own children, 20 grandchildren, and 26 great grandchildren. In 1976 Elaine and her family packed up and moved to a little town known as Lake Charles, Louisiana were they still currently live today. When asked if she would conduct an interview with me she was over joyed to oblige. The first question asked of Elaine was; what changes have you seen in the world since you were a teenager? Elaine immediately sat back in her rocking chair, took a sip of her sweet tea, and with a large smile said “well I have seen many things in my life since I was a kid, but I’m sure I can think of a few things”(Stewart). The first thing that came to Elaine’s mind was how much the people and our country as a whole have turned away from God. Growing up in Milwaukee there was prayer in schools and any government meeting or affair would always begin with a word of prayer. God was just another part of your everyday life. If the idea of people were trying to appeal to our government to have the words God removed from our currency and our pledge of...

A new management team initiated a turnaround programme aiming at increased production efficiency, net sales and profit. ‘Since 1996, we were really working against a backdrop that wasn’t so far successfully. As part of this, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer had adopted a new focus on R&D, marketing and sales, moving away from its initial manufacturing strength. In addition, the company removed from bankruptcy’, said Carlo di Biagio, Chief Executive Officer of DMH. ‘Now our situation is different. Sooner or later, we think investors will see that.’ By 2001, the company had restructured its value chain activities, outsourcing 90% of its production and, in order to decrease costs, introducing a platform strat- had embraced the Internet, deciding in Ianuary 2000 to sell its new motorcycle, apparel and accessories exclusively online...

...Riyadah gazed out of her bedroom window of her grand mother's little two-bedroom house and sighed as she closed her journal after penning a brief entry. Riyadah was a simple and pretty easy going young lady. She got her subtle ways from her grandmother Lisa Evens who'd spent most of her impressionable years with. As the aroma of fried bologna entered her old bedroom, she smiled at all the memories of her grandmother's fried bologna sandwiches. When she was younger and would visit or spend time with Grandma Lisa, bologna would be the only thing that she would eat. It would be her first request as soon as she walked through the front door, and Grandma Lisa would give it to her by the pounds. She would feed her bologna so much that her father would go and take it out of the fridge when he would drop her off. The vivid memory brought a smile to her lips. She sat up on the old twin bed and looked around at the pictures of her when she was a little girl that her grandmother kept up. The old home had so many memories. Riyadah was a full time employee of the Philadelphia Freedom School and she was also a part time student at Community College in her second year, on her way to Temple University through a dual enrollment program. She had her own apartment with a guy she dated since high school, but a terrible fallout over infidelity issues abut a week prior had brought her back to her grandmother's house to figure things out. Riyadah was always a deep thinker. Her ability to process...

...Maham Choudhry 15110160 My Nana, the Lawyer He asks me my name. I tell him. It’s not as if he forgets, it is just that he never bothered to remember. Committing the names of his nine children’s offspring is understandably a tedious task. “Tell me about Sirhind, nana,” I ask. He smiles, a maze of crow’s feet forming at the edge of his cataract-inflicted eyes. “I went there last night.” My nana’s ‘dreams’ take him to Sirhind Shareef, a place he calls home. Sirhind (the popular name of Fatehgarh Sahib), where there is a shrine of Shaikh Ahmad Mujaddid Alf-i-Sani, was situated in Patiala state, a region between Ludhiana and Ambala Districts. It was the head-quarter of the province under Mughal rule. My nana has never demanded anything from his children. But he asks them to take him to Sirhind, a word he speaks with such longing and love that every syllable seems covered in honey. Perhaps that is why he has started hallucinating. His desire to re-visit Sirhind is so strong, the place where his father had slapped a Sikh who tried to stop a Shia procession and where he had shared loaves covered in ghee with his father’s Hindu business partners. Every night, nana claims that ‘his friends’ in his dreams take him across the border to his home, where he was born in the year 1935. My nana is Chaudhry Muhammad Bashir, one of the most capable and eminent lawyers in Faisalabad. His grandfather...

...One weekend my parents went to New Orleans and we stayed with my Nana. Eager to make pigs in a blanket for breakfast, we all woke up early one morning. Putting the pan in the oven, my brother asked for some sweet tea. She poured him a tall glass and he brought it over to the step stool to drink it, using the top step as a table. Just as she said, “No, don’t do that, it will spill” the glass went soaring and splashed sugary tea all over the floor and wall. “Oh, no,” Nana shouted. I was in the other room, but rushed over to see what all the fuss was about. Running in, I slipped in the tea and hit a potted plant arrangement that shattered upon impact, covering the already sticky mess. Exasperated, Nana picked both of us up and sat us in the living...

...A Thousand Splendid Suns Parents should always be there and care for their kids, no matter what. For example, in the book (36) the author states, “Mariam caught a glimpse of what was beneath the tree: the straight-backed chair, overturned. The rope dropping from a high branch. Nana dangling at the end of it.” Nana should have just supported Mariam if she wanted to go, because that way if she gets hurt and does not want to be with Jalil anymore, she has somewhere to go home to. Mariam just wanted to see her father, that she does not get to see everyday. Nana was thinking that Mariam wanted to abandon her and was making her feel bad about herself, saying that Jalil does not want her, and he is not going to take her in. Then she continues...

...Minggu, di rumah Tuhan kami dipertemukan. Namanya Nana, berparas cantik, rambutnya terurai panjang. Baru pertama kali aku melihatnya di Gereja ini. “Hai, Andy ya?” sapanya. “Iya, kamu siapa?” “Aku Nana, kamu putranya Pak Trimin kan?” Oh iya, aku lupa. Ayahku adalah pendeta di Gereja ini. Pantas saja ia mengenaliku. Berawal dari pertemuan di Gereja, keakraban kami berlanjut hingga menjadi sebuah status. Tepat di ulang tahunnya yang ke-16 tahun, aku menyatakan perasaanku serta kuberikan tiga buah boneka lumba-lumba berbeda ukuran sebagai hadiah ulang tahun dariku. Hari-hari kami lewati dengan bahagia, tanpa amarah, hanya kasih sayang. Nana, lagi dimana? Bisa jemput aku di Kalisat? Uangku habis, aku nggak bawa motor, nggak bisa pulang Pesan itu aku kirim ke nomor Nana. Jujur, aku tak tahu siapa yang harus aku hubungi selain Nana. Ia selalu ada disaat aku membutuhkannya. Benar saja, ia mengatakan bahwa ia akan segera datang. “Nana memang tak diragukan lagi kebaikkannya.” ungkapku saat itu. Detik berganti detik, menit berganti menit, tak ada tanda-tanda Nana datang. Tetes hujan mulai membasahi daun-daun disekelilingku. “Mungkin Nana menunggu hingga hujan reda.” pikirku. Sudah satu jam aku menunggu, sudah satu jam pula bumi berhenti meneteskan air mata. Nana tak kunjung datang. Handponeku juga dalam keadaan mati. Emosiku memuncak, cacian dan makian keluar dari bibirku. Ini pertama kalinya selama sepuluh bulan Nana tak menepati perkataanya. Apa boleh buat, mau tak...

...The Pink Sweater The important possession is a sweater that was passed down to me from my Aunt Shirley. The sweater was given to my nana before my Aunt Shirley had passed. When I got older, Nana gave me the sweater she had told me that it was from my Aunt Shirley. My Nana and my Aunt Shirley were sisters. The sweater was pink and hand-made by her. I always kept the sweater in my closet at my Nana’s and papa’s apartment. I keep it in the closet because it is very important to me. I keep the sweater hung up in the closet so that I will not destroy it. Another reason it stays hanging up is so that it will stay safe.

...FOR ANYBODY THAT DOESN’T KNOW ME, IM KYLE, ONE OF NANAS 6 GRANDCHILDREN. AS MOST OF YOU KNOW NANA WAS AN AMAZING WOMAN. FAMILY ALWAYS CAME FIRST WHEN IT CAME TO HER. NOTHING MADE HER HAPPIER THAN HAVING HER FAMILY OVER FOR PASTA AND HER FAMOUS MEATBALLS. MEATBALLS WERE JUST ONE OF HER COOKING SPECIALTIES HOWEVER. SHE ALSO MADE AMAZING HOMEMADE WEDDING SOUP AND EVERY CHRISTMAS SHE BAKED ENOUGH COOKIES TO FEED A SMALL ARMY. IF THERE WERE TWO RULES TO FOLLOW AT NANAS I WOULD SAY NEVER SAY NO WHEN SHE OFFERS A SECOND PLATE OF FOOD, AND NEVER EVVVVVERRRR SAY ANYTHING BAD ABOUT THE NEW YORK YANKEES OR DEREK JETER. OR AS NANA LIKED TO CALL HIM DEREK JETERS. ONE OF MY FAVORITE MEMORIES FROM CHILDHOOD WITH NANA WAS A WEEKEND WHEN SHE WATCHED ME AND TWO OF MY COUSINS JOHNNY AND ALEX. ONE OF THE AFTERNOONS SHE WALKED US TO MCDONALDS FOR HAPPY MEALS AND MILKSHAKES. THIS MIGHT NOT SOUND LIKE MUCH BUT WHEN YOU ARE ABOUT 8 YEARS OLD IT DOESN’T GET MUCH BETTER THAN THIS. OUR HERO NANA WAS THE ONE WHO MADE IT HAPPEN. SHE WAS THE TYPE OF WOMAN I HOPE MY 6 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER GROWS UP TO BE LIKE. SHE CHOSE TO SEE THE GOOD IN PEOPLE. IF YOU ASKED HER ABOUT ANY OF HER FRIENDS OR MEMBERS OF OUR FAMILY THEY WERE PERFECT IN HER EYES. SHE WAS AN INSPIRATION TO ALL OF US. I FOUND OUT ONLY 1% OF PEOPLE DIAGNOSED WITH PANCREATIC CANCER LIVE FOR 10 YEARS OR MORE. NANA IS PART OF THAT 1%. WE WERE TRULY BLESSED TO SHARE THE PAST 10 YEARS WITH HER.
