I love what I read in the LA Times about your program. I was sad to see that no Oakland public schools participate but I like what you’re doing. I think this would be equally beneficial even for kids within a city like Oakland. To walk in another person’s shoes is really informative.

So thankful for AEP. I hope one day, our grandson can get this opportunity to learn these lessons

Devon Hawkins | $520.87

We raised funds for AEP as part of a course in the UCA Honors College, which is specifically focused on issues of community in all its forms. Your organization, and your staff, inspired us! We were so happy to share in and spread its message.

I tried but failed to facilitate some connections, so I am left with the old codgers' next best shot--a donation. (I talked to Paul Solman, my best friend in high school, about Florida and Alaska. You got there, but not through me.)

I saw a segment on CNS Sunday Morning about this program and immediately wanted to support this cause. I am a university professor and am constantly hoping for a better future for my students and fearing for the survival of democracy. These young people are the future and deserve to thrive in a less divided, more tolerant environment. Thank you for what you are providing for these young people!

I was in the Navy years ago and met a variety of Americans. I think the AEP is a great idea.

I have truly believed in exposure to others as a way of life since I was young. Thank you for this fantastic program and I truly love your mission. My daily mantra has been from the following poem by an unknown author in the book "Something To Live By" collected and annotated by Dorothea S. Kopplin, page 76. If I knew you and you knew me, If both of us could clearly see And with an inner sight divine The meaning of your heart and mine I'm sure that we should differ less And clasp our hands in friendliness. If I knew you and you knew me, As each one knows his own self, we Could look each other in the face And see therein a truer grace. Life has so many hidden woes, So many thorns for every rose; The "why" of things our hearts would see If I knew you and you knew me
