Jeremy, I am impressed and inspired by your charity work, particularly the Children’s Initiative, which I just read about on a Princeton class website (which I very seldom look at). Ever since spending two years in Ghana with the Peace Corps and two more years in Ivory Coast with the UN, I have contributed to various charities focused on Africa. In particular, I have supported an organization founded by Tom Warth and based here in St. Paul, Books for Africa, which does just what the name says. I would love to add Children’s Initiative to the international organizations to which my wife Mary and I contribute regularly. Good work!

We did not know each other well, but I remember you from our freshman year in Brown. I roomed there with Heinz Schmidt and Chip Roh .
