"THESE GREAT BLESSINGS OF HUMAN TOUCH!"

O heroes to the world! , O heroes the world over, - graciously observe how, 'The United Flags of International Students' has mesmerized the world. Buoyantly, for sure! The united flags and audience is a proof that there is No poverty of our inner resources. Therefore, our enemies are the Demons of Doubt, Insecurity and Low self esteem from nesting our brains! Sooner than later we will be a part of and live with whatever results from our unrelenting efforts to build a better world for students. I pray and hope that you accomplish everything with logic, rigor and imagination. The honour and burden of finding the way forward, will fall to you before long. The consideration of the way will be the hardest decision. We cannot continue the old way, that is what has got us to our current horror. The future of the Students the world over would have failed if we cannot find the way.  The way, is the essence of our strategy. God help and guide you all!

The cost and price of high pressure work, earned with constant travel turned out to be a near heart attack, emergency quadruple bypass heart surgery, and then another major operation to repair his injured chest cavity. His face, close up, shows that he has aged a decade in the year after his surgery. And he has, those close to him say, "good days and bad days."

Still, he looks good, considering. "I think I am in as good a shape now as I've been in years and years and years," he says. While many heart patients experience a psychological letdown or worse after surgery, he says, "I didn't have any depression in my recovery, and I think it's cause I haven't had anytime off in thirty five years since I've been in politics. I've reached an age now where it doesn't matter whatever happens to me, I just don't want anyone to die before their time anymore."

According to Magaziner, several NGOs and the governments of Ireland, Norway, Sweden, France, Canada, and the UK, have helped put almost four hundred thousand people in treatment and expect to provide care to over one million people by late 2006 and over two million opeople by 2008. This has only been possible, Magaziner says, through a "partnership" with the drug manufacturers, the governments that provide financing , and the major nonprofits that are fighting AIDS, such as Gates Foundation and the Global Fund, as well as th United Nations and the World Bank.

The hope that he can fulfill his promise to Mandela keeps Clinton moving from one dusty, humid African Capital to another. Sometimes he confesses that the continuing death toll from AIDS is depressing, or denounces the combined efforts of the Western Governments and NGOs as 'pthetic' and 'unacceptable' When he talks about his foundation's progress before audiences, his eyes grow misty because so few of the suffering are being treated. So, thank you, President Clinton, Sir! Do say hello to Mrs. Clinton and Chelsea for all of us, please!

Good night and God bless!
