Rest in Peace President Carter. We say this on behalf of all staff and the board at the TFYIP (Toronto Foundation for Youth Involvement in Politics (TFYIP). We as an organization had the privilege of reaching out to Former President Carter's Office a few years back and they responded and they told me that the Former US President told me that: "He wishes us all the best with what i am doing". I appreciated hearing that from someone we admire dearly.
