What started as American medical volunteers operating on a single patient in an abandoned school house … grew to a hospital that now sees over 40,000 patients each year, from hundreds of miles around, with 60 Sudanese workers.
Medicine as a “Currency for Peace”
And civil society has returned.And schools have reopened.And markets have prospered … all built on TRUST.
… And the fighting and bombing have stopped.

New Military Thinking: “Smart Power”
"What is clear to me is that there is a need for a
dramatic increase in spending on civilian
instruments of national security -- diplomacy,
strategic communications, foreign assistance, civic
action, and economic reconstruction and
development.”-Dr. Robert Gates, US Secretary of Defense

Fundamental Organizing Principle
While the world often sees America’s tougher side … when people see America's more compassionate, humanitarian side, the barriers come down, and peace becomes a viable possibility.
“People don’t go to war against someone who helped save the life of their child.”

Let’s all “commit” … Begin now!“ The moment one definitely commits oneself then
Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred.
A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance which no man could have dreamed would come his way.
Whatever you can do, or dream you can -- Begin it! Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.
Begin now.”
Wolfgang Goethe German poet, philosopher, scientist
