Thank you Pete and Viv for raising awareness of the need for all humanity to have food, shelter and a loving, supportive community in which to live and develop the potential in all of us. I look forward to attending some of these fabulous events when I am relocated closer to you and your daughter. An example, my first taste of Ethiopian food with you two and Angela was terrific! It is exciting to explore other cultures as all have contributed something that is good for the world.
