A letter from Mary Jean Eisenhower

The president of People to People International

August 1, 2005

Dear Mr. Cao,

It was with heartfelt sadness that I read your letter and learned of Sharon's recent passing. On behalf of the Board and staff of People to People International, please accept our deepest condolences for your great loss.

We consider every member, whether a first-time Student Ambassador, Trustee or lifelong participant, an invaluable part of PTPI's global family. The loss of one member affects us all.

When my grandfather founded People to People International, he did so with the belief that people can make a difference one friendship at a time. I am confident that although we were not blessed with the gift of time with Sharon, the impact she made will be felt for many years to come through the friendships she formed and the hearts she touched.

Many thanks for your generosity in sharing such a beautiful message with the People to People International staff. It is our belief that together we can enhance international understanding and friendship through educational; cultural and humanitarian activities: Your kindness reminds us of our role in promoting Peace through Understanding.

We will keep Sharon close in our hearts.

God Bless,

(Signed)

Mary Jean Eisenhower

President/Chief Executive Officer
