A few other examples include my homestay family wearing shoes in the home at all times (besides, of course, when they go to sleep) and how Rwandans do not really enjoy sweet foods. I think that it has been good for me to be around many people with different perspectives of the world because this has strengthened my tolerance. Tolerance is a concept that they teach Rwandan children in schools, and I would like to share their definition with you—it is broadly interpreted as "the willingness of individuals to accept the right of everyone to be different. Tolerance is fostered by knowledge, openness, communication and freedom of thought, conscience and belief. Tolerance is harmony in difference.”
