Cate Morris just suggested that i contact you. Actually, she suggested we try & look you up when we were in Jerusalem recently. Very sadly, I didn't get her message till we returned!
But I would be very pleased to make a connection with you and we hope very much to be back in Israel in the coming months.
I am co-founder of a women's organisation, The Women for a Change International Foundation, which works to promote empathy & understanding between women from different backgrounds & cultures.
This was my first trip to Israel (actually it was my honeymoon!) and I was able to meet up with many friends from WFAC.
I know you're a very busy man but would be lovely to connect and, hopefully, to arrange a meeting next time we're over. Very happy to tell you a lot more about our work & plans of course.
With warmest wishes
Chris
