Letter of Appreciation
Caring Irish Cyclists By Award News Group (Originally in English) Last August, a group of the Pathways to Palestine Irish cyclists, led by insulin-dependent diabetic Eoghan Quinn and accompanied by a small but dedicated support team, reached Jerusalem, Israel, after a 6,000-kilometer ride, cycling through 14 countries and two time zones. Their aim was to raise funds to provide for neo-natal care and medical resources for burn victims in Gaza, where the medical infrastructure has been damaged. The intrepid travelers received support from around the world, including a formal motion of commendation passed by the Scottish Parliament and a reception in the Irish Parliament hosted by Irish MPs and Senators. In recognition of their remarkable and altruistic endeavor, Supreme Master Ching Hai sent a US$15,000 contribution and a Letter of Salute to the caring cyclists, in which She wrote, “The global community appreciates your wisdom that shows by direct, peaceful and constructive love in action to meet the urgent unattended needs of the sick and injured . . . . In addition, your enthusiasm and loving example are sure to make many others act, helping these innocent victims of war even more.”
