Dear John,
Several years ago, when I stood in front of this group of children in Ghana, I asked them, “Who here has had Guinea worm disease?”
If you look closely, you’ll see that most of the children have had Guinea worm disease! |

My friend, this photo shows why your ongoing support and commitment to our work is so important. In the region of Ghana where I stood that day, we worked with volunteer health workers and village leaders to bring an end to Guinea worm disease.
Today, all of these children and the entire nation of Ghana is free of Guinea worm. Someday soon, if you ask a group of villagers, “Who has had Guinea worm disease?” it will be only adults who raise their hands.
And one day across the entire world, no one will raise their hands! Guinea worm will be a distant memory.
But we have to finish the job and make the same kind of progress against other diseases that prey upon the world’s poorest people.
As we come to the end of this year, I urge you to make a final tax-deductible gift to bring health and peace to people in need. We’re ready to turn your compassion into action.
Rosalynn and I thank you for your generosity and wish you a healthy, happy, and hope-filled New Year!
Sincerely,
Jimmy Carter
