Deputy Secretary Gordon England (center) meets with students with the Aspect Foundation in the Pentagon on Jan. 8, 2007. The non-profit agency has placed a group of Muslim faith students from Eurasian countries in homes in Virginia and in the schools, to create opportunities for our American students to interact with these young people. All hope to serve as "young ambassadors for peace" through their 10 months here in the Youth Studies Exchange Program supported by the State Department.
