As a resident of Amherst for 27 plus years, I have participated in many different communities here in town. For example, I owned my own restaurant, which provided a rich community right in the heart of downtown, and have been a member of the Amherst Survival Center community since 1998, as staff, volunteer, and board member. Getting to know some of the newcomers to Amherst from other countries is very exciting for me. I too, have lived in a far away place (India) for 1 year with my family. The kindness people showed me, and the patience with which they helped me learn their language was wonderful. I also led English conversation circles there, where we talked about the most interesting topics! I am happy to be part of this rich community of people from all over the world. As we sit together, speaking English, my eyes and heart are open to the richness of other cultures.
