Amazing

"Guided by the belief that every life has equal value, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation works to reduce inequities and improve lives around the world"



First, I can't imagine having that much money to be able to give away. I applaud Warren Buffet for giving his fortune to the Gates Foundation and trusting them to spend it to benefit the greatest number of people.

I wonder if the Gates Foundation is taking applications. How great would it be to be involved with giving away the largest philanthropic donation ever??

I understand they are going to be hiring upwards of 400 people. And that was before the announcement about the donation from Buffet!

Truly amazing!

Oh! And did you hear about the 3 billion that Buffet put in his late wife's foundation to support reproductive rights?!

I know two women--both knitters--who work for the Gates Foundation.
