From the speech to be delivered tomorrow at The Women's Conference 2007, hosted by California First Lady Maria Shriver and Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.


Before I start, on behalf of the people of Jordan, let me express my heartfelt concern for the citizens of southern California, as they battle atrocious and dangerous fires. And let me also pay tribute to the courage and tirelessness of the state's fire and police departments, the emergency services, volunteers and many others, who are all working around the clock...risking their own lives to save those of others. These people are real life, everyday heroes, and I think we should give them a round of applause to show our tremendous respect and admiration for the difficult job they are doing. May God be with you.

Are you sure, clymene? I've just watched the speech, it's quite a way in, about 40minutes or so.

Long Beach, CA, Oct. 24 (Petra)-- Recalling childhood anecdotes and some of the defining moments of her life, Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah addressed an audience of 14,000 women in Long Beach, CA, on Tuesday. The Queen's speech carried a message of cross cultural understanding and emphasized that "we are all much more alike than we are different; the experiences that shape us, no matter where we grow up bring out the same very human responses – of tears and laughter, fear and courage, uncertainty and enlightenment".

Whoa!! Taft is a well known school here in L.A. Not always for its good points mind you.

It's unfortunate that Her Majesty came at a bad time (meaning the fires here in So Cal.) I haven't heard anything about her visit to L.A. on my local news today and I doubt I will since we are having a serious crisis around here.


In any event thanks for keeping us updated about her stay in L.A. Love to hear as well as read more about it.

I take it Taft is quite a rough school then? Could you possibly tell us some more about it please?

I found these photos of flickr.com of Queen Rania at the Creative Artists Agency Q&A session, she's wearing the same grey dress Princess Mary wore at the Danish Refugees event.

Thanks, as I said in Mary's thread that that is a lovely dress. I have to think aboyt whether the belt is nice or not with it
