[nabs-l] the eagerness to get involved and be active

[priscilla]

hi to all liters,
I am trying to get involved in this project that takes place for 8 days in another country only because I went to this human rights conference yesterday
After I went to the human rights conference at keen University, I receive an email about a great opportunity to participate in a tour at the Dominican republic where you become active in community service projects throughout the stay in that particular country by helping the impoverished population with different organizations.
in other words, it is like a form of being involved as a volunteer at the peace corpse.
I know that I need some accommodations especially when it comes to traveling alone for the first time to an unfamiliar setting.
But, I don't know how to ask or answer this particular question only because I am iffy due to the different interpretations that society has towards us.
I think that we are equal just like all of the other society members throughout the world, and it is very sad to see so much discrimination and prejudice as well as the huge amount of inequality we receive when it comes to accessing certain things even if we strive to be independent.
Although we do our best to be as independent as possible, we all face many challenges when we want to try to participate in certain activities such as going to museums of art as an example.
So, I am only saying this because I need some tips on how to deal with this being that I never traveled abroad before and I would really like to do this since I still have the opportunity to learn a lot because as I get older, it will be more difficult when I start working.

Thank you very much.
