Dear Arne Duncan, U.S. Secretary of Education,

We want to help you with what you have said is “the most pressing issue facing America”…EDUCATION. We are students from Yorktown High School in Yorktown, NY, and our goal is to give as many kids around the world an opportunity to learn more.

Through a non-profit organization, Kids to Kids International, we are sending boxes of student-created picture books and educational supplies to children around the world. Many schools throughout the United States are doing the same – we even have student-created picture books from Dever Elementary School in your hometown of Chicago. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if a program like this could be in every school in the United States?

We hope you will check our website www.ktki.org. You can put this program in every school in America and give every student a global voice of peace and friendship. And guess what?! It would not cost a thing…. and imagine what it could do.

So we’ll all be friends,
Jesse Yuan and Laura Victor, Yorktown High School Students
