UNITY FOUNDATION
Promoting World Peace, Cooperation & Unity for 24 Years
January 1, 2000
To Whom It May Concern
It is my pleasure to write a Letter of Support for Rev. Yusen Yamato and The
Global Peace Walk.
I am the founder and president of Unity Foundation, a non-profit
organization with a 24 year histroy of promoting world peace, cooperation
and unity. Since 1986, I have had the honor of working with Rev. Yusen
Yamato, a Buddhist Monk and Global Peace Walker, whose tireless efforts to
promote peace have been inspiring and empowering thousands upon thousands of
people around the world, including many thousands who have attended events
which Unity Foundation has produced or co-produced. These events have
included: The Celebrations of the 20th and 30th Anniversaries of the Summer
of Love, the Unity'95 Celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the Founding of
the United Nations, the Amercian Soviet Rock & Roll Summit, Unity'98
Celebrating Racial Harmony in San Francisco commemorating the one year
anniversary of The President's Initiative on Race, and the 1999 State of The
World Forum's public event --Creating a Culture of Peace for the 21st
Century. Rev. Yusen Yamato has presented a Peace Ceremony for each of these
special events.
Rev. Yamato has also continually walked for Global Peace since long before
1995, when he conducted The Global Peace Walk from the United Nations in New
York City to San Francisco in commemoration of the 50th Anniversary of the
Founding of the United Nations. He has also led numerous regional Global
Peace Walks. Beginning on January 15th, of this year 2000, Rev. Yamato
will again walk from San Francisco to the United Nations in New York City,
in commemoration of the 55th anniversary of the Founding of the United
Nations.
Rev. Yusen Yamato is an extraordinary person who has dedicated his life to
creating global peace. Since the promise of the New Millennium is peace on
Earth, I humbly request your support for the selfless efforts of Rev. Yamato
and The Global Peace Walk. Through your support you will be helping to make
the promise of peace on Earth in the 21st Century a reality.
Sincerely,
