The New Ways of Life…

The New Ways of Life…

Challenge

Challenge

An immigrant, expatriate, or an international student require assistance in learning the new ways of life in the new country they are moving to. Navigation through the first few days, settling in, or facing trouble in completing even the minuscule tasks can be a difficult and an overbearing experience.


The ways and culture of any country are hundreds, if not thousands of years old, and are extremely layered. Comprehending them and fully adjusting to them can take years. In the fast-paced modern world the actors mentioned above would already have so much else to do, and it could be adjusting for them even more intimidating.
