---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Daniel Ashkenazy <yosefdaniel99@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: Ethiopian students Congratulations to both Nava and Sonya for presenting a well written expose on how to connect with Ethiopian students. In my experience both here and in Canada this is the right approach. To paraphrase King Solomon "we cannot expect Ethiopian children to be judged by the same standards as our own children for they are born in a different time and culture." we must learn to respect their cultural differences and nurture them but also bridge the gap with them. -- Daniel Ashkenazy Educator, Writer, Guide ----------------------------------------------- ** Etni homepage - http://www.etni.org ** for help - ask@xxxxxxxx ** ** to post to this list - etni@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** -----------------------------------------------
