Andrew intends to see how communities and cultures connect through art, music, religion, dance, and other forms. Modern advancements, technology is particular, have created a more connected global community though this increased level of connection does not guarantee increased understanding and respect for differences. In light of this, Andrew hopes to see how people celebrate their differences instead of using them as ways as sources of division. He also hopes this experience will help him find a way to contribute to our global community in the future. Andrew’s itinerary consists of Chile, Argentina, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Thailand, Indonesia, and Japan.
