That brings us to the end of our Peace Prize Ceremony today. We've dealt with some substantial issues. I would really like to thank the students for their patience and concentration.

Before we go, I received a letter last week from Andrew Friedman who was our Peace Prize Winner in 1997, working on the peace process in the Middle East and in particular with a program called Seeds of Peace. He is currently at Stanford University and studying, but I would just like to read a short sentence out from the section he wrote to me because I believe this carries a message to our students and is something that they may wish to consider as Dr. Lefkoff and Terah visit you in your schools to talk a little bit more with you about the peace process.

Winning the first International Peace Prize two years ago was a milestone for me. Public recognition for the work I have been doing for peace in the Middle East validated for me what I thought I knew, that being young does not mean that it is too early to get out there and participate actively in shaping the world we will all inherit.
