It is with profound love and gratitude that we thank and dedicate this site to those people who acted with such selfless kindness and compassion and to that spirit wherever it appears. We believe it is important that the American people understand that the Iranian people — outside of politics, religion or nationality — are extending their hand of friendship. This is a gesture of compassion and humanity from the people of one country to the people of another and we would like to help foster it. If you would like, here’s how you can help.
Adele Freedman and Tobb's sister Tam Dell'Oro are now managing a tax deductible charitable fund to finance the building of a school in Bam, Iran. We hope to have Tobb's name placed on the building. Longer term, the charitable fund will finance activities promoting friendship and peace in the Middle East. For the past 20 years, Tobb was actively involved in efforts to bring about peace between Israelis and Palestinians. This was his dream, as it certainly is of many, and we’d like you to help us do whatever we can. Thank you.
