It is a great honor to co-write with you, although this is not our first time, and the “14 article” is our mutual work. Ehsan was kind enough to translate it and it will be sent to you in few days.

Thank you for sharing the photos from the co-guide examinations. I am amazed with the 4500 participants across 43 branches. That is powerful testimony to the service ethic that thrives within Congress 60. I think adding the new comers consultant position will also provide a good entry into service opportunities within Congress 60 and build new leaders for the future.

Thank you for sharing your perspectives on the state of addiction treatment. I find them very thought-provoking and will reflect on them in the coming weeks.

I believe they are right to continue these debates. Apart from the recovery, no success has been achieved in medical treatment section. In fact there is no true method in medical treatment, and these methods are like childish games!

Our prolonged “War on Drugs” has filled jails and prisons but provided no sustained solution to the problem of addiction. There is a growing awareness that we as a country cannot arrest and incarcerate our way out of the addiction problem, but moving toward better alternatives is slow with much resistance.

Today is the 20th day of Ramadan, and I have lost about 5 kilo of my extra weight. I feel better and hopefully I will find a method to lose extra weight just like addiction treatment and smoking cessation.

Pardon my delay in responding. Rita and I have just returned from a week’s vacation with two of my sisters. We rented a house on the beach large enough to accommodate all of our family members. It was a wonderful week of family sharing and time for relaxation and reflection.

I am doing much better since we last communicated. I caught a bad type of flu that disabled me for a week and required a day in the hospital but I am doing fine now. I am delighted to hear the spring vacation went well for you and for members of Congress 60.

Thank you for the photos of the tree planting ceremony. It made me wonder how many trees have been planted in Iran by second travelers since this ritual began within Congress 60. It is possible to image whole forests in the future being the fruit of this ritual. What a service this is to your country and the world.
