Even animals cooperate with each other, why can’t we? This is the question I used to ask myself; therefore, finding the answer was something like digging in the earth where only stones get together as if they are one community. There were only stones rather than water to quench the thirst of droughty bodies of those poor peasants who keep saying “we are not going to let ourselves down in order not to exterminate the dream for the dying for change. “Yes” was the word I told myself when I heard those promising peasants whispering and encouraging themselves to press forward in their digging to find water to reiterate their common infant future. “Yes “and only “yes” was the word I told myself first before others: Yes we are not going to die or let ourselves down since we are “Together as One” and we are crawling happily even with our tiny feet toward our beloved shared mother “AFRICA”.Within Together as One, I come to realize how is it good to dream, how is it good to cooperate, how is it good to inspire and get inspired, how is it good to share experiences and knowledge….,and how is it better to actualize your real belonging to your communities. My being a volunteer teacher and member in together as one is a life changing experience. I come to branch my friendship network, knowing peoples from different specialties and nationalities but holding the same vision toward the real active being. Being a volunteer teacher teaches me how learning is a nonstop process, teaches me how achieving one’s goal is not something out of question, teaches me how collaboration and the involvement in such social community services like the ones offered by Together as One is a one stop where one can find good and only good experiences to boost his/her profile both personally and professionally.
