The AI Global Write-a-thon
'Write a letter, Save a Life'
was a success!
A very uplifting couple of hours full of hope…We had 22 people, included some new friends;
we wrote 100+ letters to foreign government leaders and more than 60 holiday cards to prisoners, to let them know that they are not forgotten.Thank you all and keep the flame burning…
