Building Relationships Globally
Azi Khalili’s call for Iranian-heritage Co-Counselors was conducted in Farsi and English. The participants were from many places, including Iran, the United States, and Europe. Azi talked about how the pandemic has been affecting us and our countries. A good thing is that the whole world has to come together to solve the problem.
We had lots of time to discharge and connect with each other. I loved seeing people I hadn’t seen in a long time. It felt good to be together.
Azi will be helping us set up Co-Counseling sessions for the next four months leading up to our next meeting. Even if we don’t speak the same language, we can still have sessions in our own language. We can be connected, build relationships with each other, and discharge. It is wonderful to build relationships with people who live far away from us. Being connected globally is so important in these times.
