Dear (Senator, Congressman, Mayor,
etc.)
I am a supporter of the Human Development
Foundation, which is profiled in a
recent episode of the public television
series The Visionaries titled “Progress
for Peace”. HDF is doing work
today that addresses some of the most
pressing global problems we face as
a nation and as a people. HDF tackles
the corrosive problems of persistent
poverty, illiteracy, and social privation
in Pakistan, a nation situated in
a part of the world where problems
such as these can and do serve as
catalysts for extremism and violence.
The Human Development Foundation’s
mission is to “facilitate a
non-political movement for positive
social change and community empowerment
through mass literacy, enhanced quality
of education, universal primary health
care and grassroots economic development.”
The bulk of the work done by HDF consists
of delivering critically needed services
to promote literacy, health care,
and economic development. But the
larger mission demands that we tell
the story of Human Development, and
that we help to change the very nature
of the discussion being held in this
country, and around the world, about
how we can best achieve peace and
security, and promote the common good.
I urge you to consider the value
to America and the world of the work
being done by this organization. And
please also look closely at the Human
Development movement, as practiced
by the United Nations, the World Bank,
and many smaller non-governmental
organizations including HDF. Human
Development stands as a highly viable
alternative to violence and war as
a means of conveying the values that
this nation was founded on and implementing
those values in areas where alternative
ideologies can too often find fertile
ground.
I would also like to schedule a meeting
with you or your staff to discuss
how we can enlist your support for
this vital movement.
Thank You,
Your Name
