 Testimonial from Maeona
Mendelson
As the Sister Cities
International state coordinator for Hawai’i, I look forward to a
long and productive partnership between the state of Hawai’i and the
Kingdom of Morocco. We look forward to creating a lasting friendship
based foremost on citizen diplomacy and professional, youth and
citizen exchanges. From these exchanges we anticipate economic,
cultural, social and educational projects of benefits to the people
of both Morocco and Hawai’i.
My relationship with Morocco precedes my involvement with the Sister
Cities program. In 2001 I stepped off the airplane in Casablanca to
begin work on the advisory committee for the World Congresses of
Youth. I have returned many times through the kind invitation of my
new friends to seek ways to work together in building a bridge of
aloha.
Sincerely,
Maeona Mendelson
