“On behalf of the team that hosted the Jordanian students in Seattle, I want to extend a heart-felt thank you.  Thank you for allowing not only the students this opportunity, but for providing us with the chance to make some incredible new friends.  All of us who were involved were amazed at the leadership capability these ten possessed.  We also felt privileged to learn much more about Jordan and the struggles it faces as a country.  This small gathering was powerful beyond description as we dreamt together about how to strengthen the bridge between the US and the Middle East.  We hope to send some students next summer and trust that these friendships will work to take steps towards peace.  This experience meant HOPE for me.  Thank you again, for seeing this as a worthwhile cause.  We will never be the same!”
