She is also a certified Deeptime leader and poet. I grew up non-white in Apartheid South Africa. I was raised Muslim and I attended a Catholic school run by a group of Dominican Sisters. It was the only private school in our town and definitely the only multiracial school. It was here that I learned what respect, ONE-ness and Love truly meant – the nuns embodied this. When I was in Grade 1, our teacher, Sr. Maureen, would start the day with a prayer, asking which student wanted to share a prayer. One morning, an eager classmate raised her hand. Like me, she was Indian South African. She was Hindu. When she asked if she could pray in her own religion, Sr. Maureen taught us true inclusivity as she replied, “Yes, of course. Let’s all bow our heads and close our eyes.” Then came the time when uncomfortable and hurtful words were spoken by a student: “Non-Christians go to hell.” Two of my Christian classmates, burning with feelings of the injustice that was being inflicted on their non-Christian school mates, reported the student to the nun who was the junior school principal. She didn’t sweep it under the rug. She continued to create a space of Love and righted the wrong. We sang many hymns and songs – the one that spoke volumes was called, When I needed a neighbor. The lyrics of the last verse read: “When you need a neighbor, I’ll be there, I’ll be there, when you need a neighbor I’ll be there. And the creed and the color and the name won’t matter, when you need a neighbor I’ll be there.” Website: https://haseenapatel.com
