When you think of ‘home’, what springs to mind?

Warm embraces bathed in familial love, a country flag proudly flapping in the wind, or perhaps a specific dish cooked by grandma rolls the word ‘home’ onto your tongue. In this issue, we explore the different facets of belonging and what home truly means. From an eye opening interview with a formerly homeschooled Singaporean serving National Service to an inspiring personal story about fitting in, The Homeschool Gazette has a plethora of topics to offer. So grab yourself a cup of tea, find a comfortable spot, and nestle into the words and pictures that capture our journeys.

Enjoy!
