It is a great honor to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize,
particularly as The Carter Center celebrates its 20th anniversary.
Rosalyn and I deeply appreciate this affirmation of the
importance and effectiveness of the Center’s mission
to wage peace fight disease, and build hope around the world.
Our work and this international recognition are only possible
because of the partners we are blessed to have. Because
of your encouragement and support, millions of people have
better lives and hope for their families. In a very real
sense, you share the Nobel Peace Prize with us. We thank
you for your friendship and believing in our work.
