Working on this project was a beautiful experience. Having the opportunity to work with so many

people and to hear their stories and then share their stories with them is a once in a life time experience.

Having to talk to these people I learned so many things and how to always cherish life, and to always

be grateful of the opportunities we have provided to us. While our ensemble was performing, I was so

moved by the audience interaction I almost cried. I never realized how life threatening many situations

actually are and hoe many people are still faced with these struggles. For me to place myself in the life

of someone else and to simply listen to their story is the best feeling. Its one thing to see genocide or

war on television and it is another thing to witness with people who have survived and have such hope

in their eyes and a smile on their faces. Working with catholic charities was an amazing experience and

having the ability to perform a play in honor of the survivors was remarkable. The completed work

from the ensemble was great and the stories fit together. I loved the ability to engage in someone else's

live other than mine and truly an experience.
