In 2003, contributions totaling $26.0 million were made directly to civic groups and community service projects around the world. Of this total, more than $12.0 million benefited communities outside the U.S. Some countries where our business is growing are extremely poor, lacking in basic infrastructure. As we pursue our work, we continue to build or reinforce local capabilities to help improve the local economy. In Azerbaijan, we supported small business development programs and constructed resource centers in Bilasuvar refugee settlements. Our Chad-Cameroon Project brought the potential for significant economic growth in local economies through investments in roads and bridges that now connect local villages to outside markets. In Nigeria, ExxonMobil is involved in a three-year partnership with the private-sector group Growing Business Foundation to enhance economic development within rural communities by providing credit to small enterprises. It targets people living below the poverty level. In Sakhalin, Russia, we partnered with the US Agency for International Development to expand a micro-finance program providing business training and financing to those without collateral for conventional bank loans. We realize our communities' future depends on adequately developing our youth so we continued support in 2003 for two signature programs that focus on youth employment. More than $635,000 was provided for the ExxonMobil Community Summer Jobs Program.

Born in Tiffin, Ohio, Aylsworth graduated in 1989 with his BFA from Kent State University, Kent, Ohio, and was an artist in residence in the Core Program at the Glassell School of Art, Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, from 1989-91.
