	abstract = {Maria Montessori's worldview, shaped at least in part by her extensive travels and her experiences during World War II, compelled her to speak of peace and cooperation among nations. Though in today's world people can communicate instantly via fax, e-mail, and cell phones, and have the ability to circumnavigate the globe in a matter of days, they often find that understanding and empathy arise from daily contact with people whose customs and languages may be foreign, but whose daily struggles and hopes and dreams are not so different at all. In this article, the author describes her experiences that may attest to that very Montessori spirit. Living with two Ukrainian exchange students to train to be Montessori elementary teachers, the author was surprised by their limited vocabulary and difficulty conjugating verbs. However, they were able to discover similarities, by means of exchanging views and slowly their communication and cultural barriers began to diminish and opened the door to sharing cultures and experience.},
