It was truly refreshing and inspirational to have the opportunity to meet with you. It is rare that we have the occasion to meet with Cooperation Circle members here in the office, particularly those that are based in other countries. To have you visit and speak about all your great work building a culture of peace and understanding in your community really helps to give body to the ideals that we are all working for. Your visit, though short, was quite energizing as it helps to remind me of why I work here. I read the news daily, and the amount of pain and suffering across the world pains me, but meeting you in person really drives home the fact that there are wonderful people such as yourselves doing great things in the name of peace and it renews my faith in humanity, not a little thing in the face of all the violence in this world. So for that you have my thanks. I hope that the rest of your tour goes well and that you are able to expand the market for your coffee by leaps and bounds. In peace and thanks, Sam Ruben United Religions Initiative Dear JJ, Samuel, Margaret, Sinina, Ben, and Holly,
