Chan,
The
holiday season has always been a time to share good tidings of peace
and love with friends and family. In this spirit of reflection and
celebration, I want to share how much Hillary, Chelsea, and I have
enjoyed working together over the past year to make a difference in
peoples' lives all over the world.
Hillary and Chelsea have each helped advance the Clinton Foundation's
programs in meaningful ways and led us into new areas where we can make a
positive impact – and I'm so grateful to share in this work with them.
But we couldn't have done it alone. Thanks to our committed staff,
dedicated partners, and supporters like you, in 2013, our programs
continued to make significant progress. As a result of our collective
efforts:
- 6.8 million people worldwide have access to low-cost, high-quality HIV treatment;
- 21,000 smallholder farmers in Malawi have been able to increase their yields by 150 percent and their incomes by 567 percent;
- More than 5,000 people have been trained in marketable job skills in Colombia;
- And more than 20,000 schools across the United States offer improved exercise and nutrition programs.
And this is just a sample of the work we've been able to do with the help of generous supporters like you, Chan.
Together, I know that we will continue to build on our progress to create an even brighter future.
But for today, I hope that your family experiences all the joy and love
that this season can offer, and that your generous and kind spirit
brings many happy returns.
From my family to yours, we wish you the very best during this time of holiday celebration.
Sincerely,
Bill Clinton |
