You Go, homeboy

16Jun06

Some people love him, some people hate what his company stands for… But you can’t help but admire what his foundation has done for humanity.

Bill is leaving Microsoft in order to work full time to “give away his fortune” accoring to this article.

The Bill and Melinda Gates does some pretty impressive things– I only learned the extent of it when I saw presentation after presentation at the Global Health Symposium refer to B/MGates as the largest sponsor of their health projects in the developing world. Just looking at the chart on this article, it seems that the foundation has given $1.9 Billion to Immunization and $1.1 Billion to HIV/Aids alone! Absolutely phenomenal.

Congratulations, Bill. Someday soon, I hope to follow in your footsteps.
