Cultural Interaction Promotes Friendship V Imagine the babbling of many different lan- guages. . . A room filled with Spanish, French, Hebrew, English, Persian, and Danish accents. The aroma of homemade Italian lasagna, steaming Mexican enchiladas, Greek baklava, delicate French crepes, Chinese wontons, and American hamburgers is all around. Imagine people buying and selling cultural artifacts and crafts, and others listening to mu- sic and dancing their national dances. This scene describes the Int ernational Fair, and the club which helped organize it was the Interna- tional Club. This club was mainly concerned with exploring different cultures, meeting those of different backgrounds and social groups, and promoting friendship. The club was composed of ten students all of whom had different ethnic backgrounds — Philipino, Is- raeli, Persian, Mexican American, and French. The club had several fundraisers, such as But- ton sales and the International Fair, which en- abled the students to participate in fieldtrips which allowed them to learn more about other ethnic backgrounds.
