"Some people are still unaware that all the glaciers in the world are melting. Both polar ice caps are melting. Weather all over the world is unusual. In the context of this changing world, I'm honored to be part of an organization comprised of talented, motivated and caring people dedicated to giving aid to a future certain to need it."
~ Roger Fisher
