You just have to have a simple faith.

From Jimmy Carter

From Jimmy Carter

The first time I ever saw snow skis was when I was 62 years old and that was 19 years ago and I'm still skiing. So, we'll be skiing with some very close friends of the Carter Center letting them know what the Carter Center is doing around the world. We have programs in over 65 countries.

From Jimmy Carter
