I notice you’re from Italy!
I’d love to visit there someday!  I’m crazy about Roman and Renaissance history.
And the land itself is so beautiful!

 
I've found that a lot of people here in the U.S. don't know much about their own country,

much less anyone else's. 

I post prayer updates about different countries. Part of the reason is to raise awareness

about what's going on in the rest of the world.

Recently I’ve started a personal initiative; if I notice someone on DA  is from another country,

if I've done their country I let them know. It’s my way of letting them know that others
are thinking about their home.

This one is about your home!
