Last year, in Haiti, students funded a program to help Haitian teenagers learn how to raise and manage livestock. This year, Operation Day's Work has expanded to 22 more schools-and I understand students have just finished voting on a project to fund in El Salvador. Operation Day's Work is a great way for you to help other young people all over the world-not only help others your own age but to learn about opportunities around the world. Imagine what we could accomplish if every middle and high school in America took part in this program-imagine how many people you could help. And two, that if America is to remain strong and powerful, we must not only take care of the issues that arise inside our borders, but also those beyond our shores.
Foreign assistance is a key to that.
We have the tools, the skills, and the experience to make a difference in the lives of millions of people-the question is will we use it. One day soon, we will all look to your generation to answer that question. And when that day comes, I hope you will remember everything I've said here today, and answer-yes, we will. Thank you, and now I'd be happy to take any questions you might have. Visit our contact page to find the appropriate resource.
