Giving them money will only buy them the necessities. The money we give them today will only last today. We need to give them direction as well as money. They need industries like China and Japan. First they must have better education programs "better school and colleges". I know that takes millions, but a few of the graduates can find a way to start businesses and then network and build up the communities. Then they could trade goods and services with the rest of the world. We want them to become independent. I am proud of President Clinton. He was a great president and is a great man.

I've had some experience with the younger, unruly crowd myself. Sometimes if you ask the small perpetrator of the shove if he thinks it would be OK if you made it a group rule that shoving others is perfectly acceptable or ask him what he would expect you to do if someone shoved him or better still have the group decide if they think shoving should be OK. Remember to end with a statement of understanding that he did not intend to harm his friend.

Your foundation is doing a tremendous job, especially in the remotest parts of Africa. Mr. President you make a difference in peoples lives. I live in minneapolis, and I have been following your journey since when you had the by-pass surgery and you have been doing a wonderful job.

The amazement felt can leave you truly speechless with the knowledge of the vulnerabilities of trusting innocence. It is Life's work. Alas sir, I cannot fence. It is the beginning. Thank God for such noble and righteous accomplishments. Salute,
