"No impersonal representation of a culture can fully communicate it's reality to others who have never know its living substance.  Through personal relations, our curiousity can be fulfilled by a sense of knowledge; cynicism can give way to trust; and the warmth of human friendship can be kindled."
President John F Kennedy
