Dear Our Journey to Smile:

Thank you for sharing your Letter of Humanity’s Love from Afghan youth to the UN Hague Conference.  It was very moving and I am grateful you have included me in your distribution of it. I wish your organization the best of luck with its goals.

Best,
Khaled Hosseini

Dear Khaled,

Thanks to you too!

Thanks so much for your personal reply; it encouraged us deeply, particularly Abdulai and Raziq who have watched The Kite Runner 5 times!

Do stay in touch and join us on the 21^st of September 2009 at the Bamiyan Buddhas if your schedule allows you.

Every human heart wonders about the 1000-times-over sort of friendship. Thanks for increasing our hope and our imagination!

( Be at peace! )
