The recent acts of terrorism in the United States have shown how necessary it is to encourage development intiatives in the social and economic flash points of the world. It is only having a fair chance in life that can prevent young people from going astray into fanaticism and fundamentalism. Therefore, support our efforts, or develop your own, to give everyone on earth a chance of life and a future worth living. Helmut A.
