Ever wondered what it’s like to parent in another country? Where your kids encounter a different way of life, new friendships with distinct cultural norms and the challenge of starting a new school?

While we have achieved new levels of peace and unity, it is evident that discrimination, prejudice, and bias still plague our society and impact our interactions with others.
