Meet our Appalachia SD Nate Siggers through the lens of the #FulbrightAmizade participants. #Repost @the_fulbright_program ・・・ The more we learn about others, the more we learn about ourselves. Last month, #Fulbright students and alumni met in Williamson, WV for a week of service learning with @amizadegsl. Original caption from @eric_ejs: ""I didn't know I liked people until I started volunteering, and now I just can't get enough of teaching and working with people." ~community organizer Nate Siggers. #fulbrightamizade When Nate was a child in the early 80s, he recalls having to sit with his sister upstairs in the local movie theater because they are black. Hearing him talk about how some white locals were skeptical of that experience actually happening was a reminder that discrimination is often invisible or hidden in plain sight for those who don't suffer from it." . . #fairtradelearning #appalachia #westvirginia #travelgram #storytelling #stories #powerful (at Williamson, West Virginia)

We're learning tons of things as we follow Jess' daily stories on her service and learning trip with Amizade in Brazil 🇧🇷. Check out today's post below and learn how people use biodiversity in the Amazon for health purposes. #Repost @jessmess_23 with @repostapp ・・・ Day 4: Lucianna taught us about medicinal plants and natural medicine that she has been growing and selling for about a 10 years. She also taught us some about what they make with them (oils, liquids to drink, and creams). The purple plant is tetracycline! It's pretty amazing that she knows all of these uses for the different plants! #brasil #fairtradelearning #brazil #travelgram #plants #volunteer #forest #naturalmedicine (at Santarém, Brazil)

Back in 2013 @steelers' owner, and Ambassador to Ireland, Mr. Dan Rooney welcomed a group of Amizade students from Northern Ireland and Pittsburgh for a tour of Heinz Field and a chance to talk with the Ambassador about football, North American culture, and US-Ireland relations. Today, Amizade is saying goodbye to Mr. Rooney looking at his lasting legacy and reminiscing upon this extraordinary moment in our history of cross-cultural programs. Thank you and rest in peace. . . #throwback #steelers #steelersnation #fairtradelearning #crosscultural #pittsburgh #travelgram (at Heinz Field)

Memories from Appalachia alongside @the_fulbright_program. Shared by @seokwun. ・・・ Watching Daniel from Amizade interviewing father and daughter musicians, Jay and Dee Clark. They shared with us some beautiful songs about Appalachia and their love for music. Dee: "I'm a country girl at heart. My favourite thing about being in Williamson is to be able to walk out to my front porch and look at the stars. My grandpa has a pond in front of his house and I always think it's so great to be able to play music to the frogs. You can find yourself with music when it's just you and your guitar." #fulbrightamizade #Fulbright #appalachia #travelgram #westvirginia #fairtradelearning #volunteer #servicelearning #countryroads (at Williamson, West Virginia)

Memories from our journey in Appalachia alongside @the_fulbright_program. Shared by @_biancapatel. . Chatted (read: laughed) with Betty while planting onions in her rented space of a community garden. She is one of the most vibrant and hilarious people I've ever met. Being here reminded me of when I used to work at a nursing home, a place where love and laughter blooms if you tend to it 🌱 #fulbright #fulbrightamizade #appalachia Pc to the great @caraballocordovez #fairtradelearning #community #travelgram #volunteer #storytelling (at Williamson, West Virginia)

Last day of activities in Appalachia through the lens of @seokwun. ・・・ Last night in Williamson and we had a bonfire in the community garden. It's been such an inspiring experience to meet the Fulbrighters from all over the world (truly beautiful souls who shine with kindness and wisdom) as well as the local residents in Williamson who showed us what it means to be purposeful and be of service to the community regardless of the hurdles in life. Truly blessed. #fulbrightamizade #Fulbright #appalachia #westvirginia #fairtradelearning #volunteer #travelgram #bondfire (at Williamson, West Virginia)
