CULTURAL HUMILITY

SALUD strives to approach others with cultural humility.  It is an approach that allows us to challenge our own personal biases, makes us aware that we cannot possibly know everything about other cultures, beliefs, lifestyles, etc.  We are committed to the fact that learning about other cultures is a life-long goal and process.

 
 

"Our first task in approaching another people, another culture, another religion, is to take off our shoes, for the place we are approaching is holy. Else we may find ourselves treading on [people's] dreams. More seriously still, we may forget that God was here before our arrival."
