2009 Annual Letter From Bill Gate - Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation
My first time taking note of a Charity organization.
10 million children dying is still 10 million too many. Each death is a tragedy.
10 million children dying each year, without reaching adulthood. That you seeing this, as an adult, if that’s your children, what are you thinking?
The intensity reminds me of my time at Microsoft, when we were competing with other companies to make the best database or word processor. However, in this case the competitor is a virus and all of humanity is on the same team, wanting to work together to defeat the virus.
After you read the above, it is so sad to read this :
Most of those that were not already large donors have increased significantly since the European Union and G-8 made new commitments in 2005. The current Italian government stands out because it is not only falling short on the increases but is actually cutting its aid budget.
My impression with Italy is actually quite bad, now Gates is asserting my perspective. I hope for counterexamples.
It is interesting how often the impact of climate change is illustrated by talking about the problems the polar bears will face rather than the much greater number of poor people who will die unless significant investments are made to help them.
This is so true of above. Why?
