01/20/2010
Rousseff, Bachelet in Chile and Mujica in Uruguay, were detained and tortured by the military dictatorships in their countries and later became president. It is a sign of the change that that has happened in Latin America that these leaders rarely talk about their experience having changed since their days as students, and with the wave of democratic governments in the last two decades that have transformed the economy and achieved goals in a peaceful way.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
