Dear Mr. Zaghi,
‍
Your positive and inspirational message, Love Is the Solution, is one that includes acceptance, fairness, and doing your best. These principles are not simply useful, they are truly vital to the resolution of important humanitarian issues and to reaching peace in the world.

Mr Zaghi, your proposal regarding international support for peace education to be funded by every nation contributing one percent of their defense budget is welcome, constructive, and appreciated.I support and encourage your efforts and wish you and your nonprofit organization, Love Is the Solution, all success in reaching the goal of establishing an International Peace Education Foundation dedicated to peace for all.

Sincerely,
Shirin Ebadi
