Her journey served to capture the worldwide perspective on education, health and healing to address local, national and international ways to improve the human condition where she gained first hand perspectives on
worldwide needs, values and challenges. The issues of “what if”, “why” and “how” dominated her search to understand the broader perspectives of world strategies, cultural norms, and expectation how to prepare individuals, families, and communities for being in the world, surviving and thriving. We are not alone and need each other standing as equals became her trademark and motto in search how to prepare educators in different cultures regarding the blending cultural needs with innovative strategies and techniques of national heroes of health and healing with native traditions.
