In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
His Excellency Hujjat al-Islam Haj Shaykh Mahdi Karroubi- may his graces last,
While thanking you for your efforts in shouldering the valuable responsibility of supervising the noble families of the martyrs, those missing in action the prisoners of war, and the disabled of the war I deem it necessary for you to be careful in cultural affairs of my dear children, the offspring of the martyrs, the disabled of the war those missing in action and the prisoners of war. Administer them from the kindergarten to the university in the best possible manner. Since our Islamic society owes its independence, freedom and Islamic Republic to the indescribable sacrifices of these dear ones, as soon as possible you have to make a proposal with the Education minister and the Culture and Higher Education minister, and submit it to the Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution. The honorable members of this council are aware that the greatest value honored by God is rendering service to the children of these dear ones. The Mustad`afin Foundation is obliged to shoulder the entire budget of this great work; in case of deficiency, the government, the Martyrs' Foundation and the Khordad 15 Foundation have to take action.
In case they want to enter seminaries, I request theological seminaries to assist them and to train them. The Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) has to make programs for the growth of talent and creativity of these noble children. God willing, our martyr-nurturing people will help in this divine task as far as they can.
The apples of my eyes will be aware that as they are shouldering the great mission of their honorable fathers, they have to exert utmost efforts in their moral purification and education by taking inspiration from the blessed souls of the soldiers of the Imam of the Time (may our souls be sacrificed for him) so that by acquiring Islamic knowledge and learning, they can take in
their hands the affairs of their society. May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon you.
