Dear Glenn,
As a supporter of MAP International, I wanted to
share with you some exciting news.
I am in
I have had the pleasure of working with Peter for 10
years. A humble Christian and tireless
advocate for the impoverished, Dr. Okaalet's story is
an inspiration for all of us concerned about global poverty.
Dr. Okaalet will speak
before an audience of Bill Gates, Dr. Jeffrey Sachs, Dr. Paul Farmer, Pastor
and Author Rick Warren, Ted Turner and Bono.
In preparing his remarks, Dr. Okaalet
tells me he will issue a challenge to this prestigious gathering. "We must empty our world of judgment and
fill it with compassion and knowledge."
I also enthusiastically encourage you to pick up a
copy of TIME magazine at your newsstand and read their coverage about the
health challenges facing humanity. You can read more about why Dr. Okaalet was chosen for this honor in the November 7th issue
entitled "How To Save A Life."
You can also find out more by tuning in to your
local Public Broadcasting Station to view "Rx for Survival."

This series is being broadcast in conjunction with the Global Health
Summit. Thank you for your support of
MAP and its work to save lives around the globe.
Sincerely,
Michael J. Nyenhuis
