Dr.Utsumi:
This is to offer our strong support for your InfoDev grant application. The
work the grant will help sustain is absolutely critical. Now more than ever
it is crucial to make clear the role global education must play in a world
increasing inclined to war and violent resolutions of social and economic
problems.
