Jay Hein, Director of the Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives

Good afternoon. This morning, I had the pleasure of presenting President Bush with a new report entitled The Quiet Revolution. This report offers the first-ever comprehensive analysis of the successful implementation of the President’s vision for his Faith-Based and Community Initiative. Although often working behind the scenes, it has reshaped the way government tackles human need and made grassroots charities central in a “determined attack on need” — from at-risk youth, addiction and prisoner reentry to malaria and AIDS abroad. The President highlighted some of the accomplishments detailed in this report to our nation’s governors during their annual National Governors Association meeting at the White House today, underscoring ways the Faith-Based and Community Initiative is taking root in communities across every state.

Thank you for participating in “Ask the White House,” and for your interest in President Bush’s and my trip to Africa. I’m writing to you from Ghana. We’ve visited Benin, Tanzania, and Rwanda, and tomorrow, we’ll head to Liberia.
