As President Obama has told us, “The world has changed and we must change with it. And we will transform our schools and colleges and universities to meet the demands of a new age.”

This new age, this global world, demands peace and our friendship. And we can answer this demand. “Yes we can!” We can continue sending student-created picture books and educational supplies to children around the world.

Kids to Kids International is a grand idea! All these past years, you and your students have responded to our program with love and concern. Most important our very own children here in the United States have been awakened to the presence and needs of children everywhere.

You do not have to make hundreds of picture books. You might want to begin with just one or two carefully, and lovingly created by your students. This and a few packages of paper, pencils and crayons might meet the needs of a whole village.

Those students waiting and wanting to reach out to children around the world with friendship and peace… will do just that!!!

So we’ll all be friends,
