U.S. State Department, Bureau of Education and Cultural Affairs' International Visitor Leadership Program

I'd like to again give credit to the U.S. State Department, Bureau of Education and Cultural Affairs' International Visitor Leadership Program for creating the opportunity for Anila, Maqsood, Brian, and me to meet during their sponsored visit to the United States. While our art/research often looks very critically at military-based decisions made by our government, I want to recognize that this cultural collaboration between the United States and Pakistan (C.U.S.P.) would not have happened without this U.S. government initiative.

We also want to credit Sarah, Tony, and Ali from the U.S. Consulate in Karachi for selecting the best candidates possible for the IVLP Program. The trustful relationships that we are building will continue to grow exponentially. Already, three students are planning to continue the "Letters to a Future Generation" project in their own social and academic spheres. Brian and I have been thrilled to read all of the emails and Facebook messages over the past several days from students and faculty who want to continue conversations around the topic of social intervention.
