Jimi Carterin 100-vuotissyntymäpäivää juhlitaan! Muistellaan presidenttikauden suuria saavutuksia ja kotihospiksen rauhoittavaa voimaa.

Jimmy Carterin satoja saavutuksia ja hyväntekeväisyystöitä juhlitaan tänä vuonna, kun hän täyttää 100 vuotta. Hän palveli Yhdysvaltojen presidenttinä vuosina 1977-1981 ja tunnetaan kotoisasta ja rauhallisesta lähestymistavastaan johtamiseen. Carterin merkittävimpiin saavutuksiin kuuluu Kiinan ja Yhdysvaltojen välisen kaupan parantaminen sekä rauhanneuvottelut Lähi-idässä. Vaikka Carterin aikakausi ei ollut ongelmaton, hänestä sukeutui ikoninen rauhantekijä, joka pyrki aina edistämään ihmisoikeuksia ja rauhaa maailmanlaajuisesti.

Carterin presidenttikausi päättyi karvaasti hänen häviöönsä vaaleissa, mutta siitä huolimatta hänen perintönsä elää edelleen vahvana. Hän palasi Plainsin kotikaupunkiinsa Georgian osavaltiossa elämään rauhallista elämää ja laajensi vaikutustaan erilaisiin hyväntekeväisyysprojekteihin. Tällä hetkellä Carter viettää aikaa kotihospiksessa, mutta hän jatkaa aktiivista osallistumista yhteisönsä toimintaan ja Sunday Schoolin opetukseen. Carterin kyky herättää ihmisissä patriotismia ja halua palvella muita on inspiraation lähde monille.

Carterin 100-vuotissyntymäpäivän kunniaksi monet ovat nostaneet esiin hänen merkittävimpiä saavutuksiaan eri alueilta. Etenkin hänen rauhantekonsa, kuten Camp Davidin sopimus, joka päätti 30 vuoden sodan Egyptin ja Israelin välillä, jäävät historian kirjoihin. Hänen työnsä Yhdysvaltojen ja Kiinan suhteiden parantamiseksi on myös avannut ovia, jotka ovat vaikuttaneet kansainvälisiin suhteisiin tähän päivään asti.

Huvittavaa on, että Carter on myös tunnettu ahkerasta maanviljelystään ja vuosi vuodelta kasvavan tomaatin ylpeydestään. 100-vuotias presidentti ei siis ainoastaan opeta Sunday Schoolissa, vaan hän on myös maatalouden mestari – tomaatin ja rauhanteon yhdistelmä, joka on tuskin yllättävä, kun puhutaan Carterista!
