Dear Friends and Supporters of Love is the Solution,

What a pleasure it has been to share the spirit, highlights, and initial achievements of Love is the Solution during the recent visit of Mr. and Mrs. Zaghi via New York to meet at my home here in North Carolina. I was delighted when I heard that the Zaghis could attend, in my stead, a very unique gathering of African 1st Ladys coming to the USA.

It was for a formal, invitation-only Awards Gala in the newly renovated United Nations Delegates Restaurant being hosted by Voices of African Mothers to honor the 1st Ladys essential roles toward the Millennium Development Goals on their continent.  Knowing that global, core peace education is essential everywhere, who better than the Founder of Love is the Solution and his beloved wife to be there as subtle, yet vital living expressions of that principle at this high diplomatic gathering.

During the many phone calls prior to their NY arrival, it became joyously clear that seasoned seeds from our many years of mutual yet disparate personal life experiences and guiding principles of two organizations which I had the privilege of founding, the International Human Rights Consortium and the Spalding International Brain Trust, were already blending well.  Indeed, the Zaghis achievements during their short stay in New York and later here in North Carolina continue to yield promise of even greater returns through joint projects like the formalizing of the link with the Tri-Institute headquartered here in the uniquely placed, North Carolina.

Special thanks to Dr. Nelly Farnoody-Zahiri for encouraging me to meet with Mr. Zaghi and seriously to reflect upon working together with him to enhance shared goals and achievables, bringing greater individual dignity, environmental wellness, and sustainable peace to our precious planet and all on it.    

With warmest regards,
Wilda C. Spalding
