The people in Belgium turn
to each other for comfort and their grief is felt around the world. When
I heard the news I immediately contacted my niece and nephew. My niece
is from Belgium and I found out that her parents had been at the airport
just 24 hours ahead of the bombings. I was selfishly relieved and then I
realized that the victims are all someone's niece, son, father,
grandmother, or child. We must work harder to spread the message of
human rights. We must work harder to spread the message of love and
peace around the world... as we are one very large family.

Thank you again for your cards for our 2016 Nowruz Action. If you missed Azam's presentation at Capitol Lakes, here is a link
to her presentation. She set a beautiful table and shared the history

signed petitions."Good Thoughts. Good Words. Good Deeds."
