Upon the invitation of the "Democrats Abroad" of which I have been a member for 2 1/2 years, and during the ceremonies marking the 50th anniversary of the ending of World War II, I met with Vice President of the United States, Al Gore, together with Admiral Crowe, US Ambassador in London, and Vernon Jordan, a Trustee of the Ford Foundation.

On May 8 and 9, 115 members of Democrats Abroad including myself attended seminars and receptions at the US Embassy and two other venues in central London.

There were several opportunities to speak with the Vice President and the Ambassador and brief them on IRFF's founder, history, and current activities. In particular, I informed them of what IRFF is currently doing in the Balkans with care institutions. I provided them with a media package of our projects over the last five years.

Chris Hayes is the Chief Operations Officer for IRFF in Europe.
