Leigh, Thank you so much for sharing this story.  It reflects so much of my journey and focus as well.

I have spent nearly 4 years living in The Middle East surrounded by people of different religions, races, from a more than 50 nations.  The dialogues that I've been honored to be a part of have have nurtured a growing dream and launched "Conversation Safari's".   I will be sharing this post with all of the participants.

I'm attaching a link to a blog post with more details about Conversation Safari's and a link to a short video about them.
