Sidwell Friends School

On behalf of the students and faculty at Sidwell Friends, I express my deep gratitude to you and the members of Tribe1 for your recent exciting and inspirational visit to our School.

Despite the short period of time you were at SFS, your group made a positive contribution to our entire student body. I was fortunate to be able to visit several workshops you conducted and to be present at some of the concert portions of your program as well. Your message of peace, love, and harmony reached many people at our School on many different levels. Our students especially were able to take your message to heart. In the November 26, 1997, issue of our Upper School student newspaper, Horizon, the article about "Let Your Life Speak Day" had this to say about Tribe1: "The group Tribe One performed poetry set to a musical beat and songs for the closing assembly. The atmosphere they created allowed students and faculty alike to let loose and have fun. Sophomore Sintana Vergara said, 'Tribe One had a really positive effect on me. It made me see people in a whole new way.' Most students agreed that the Tribe One performance was the highlight of the day because it was so different from anything that they experienced before..."

The impact of your good work will manifest itself in the future in ways we can only/imagine. I wish you continued success as you reach out to individuals of all ages to bring your message of peace and love.

Fellowship of Reconciliation

Thank you so much for your fabulous concert at the FOR National Conference! The evaluation forms from our participants have been overwhelmingly positive, and your concert was mentioned repeatedly (almost more than any other single element) as a highlight. You brought a wonderful spirit and message that fit beautifully with the rest of the conference. Everyone-young and old alike-loved it.

I just returned from our Retreat and I could not wait to tell you how much your CD added to our process....It was a magical assist to connecting with our spirits.

It is the day after the "Retreat Day" at 'THE CORRECTIONAL FACILITY' ... and I am still marveling at the effect of TRIBE1 on the men inside and all who participated. It was a truly joyful and inspiring experience. It was especially heartening for me to see the men I know who, at times, have felt very discouraged...to be nourished, indeed, washed over with love leaving them with a renewed sense of purpose and acknowledgement of what they have accomplished.

The energy and inspiration which Tribe1 brings to the community is truly exciting and I wish you all well as the way opens for an ever expanding audience to receive the joy you all share.
