Canoeist Neal Moore, 50 years, makes his way across America's rivers for 7500 miles - 22 months of paddling during covid over many rivers across 22 states, going from the Columbia river in Oregon to the Gulf coast and then back up to the Great Lakes and upstate New York to Hudson river. On the way seeing what it means to be American today, to see the country up close, to go community to community, and write in the Mark Twain way about his experiences, a laptop tucked away in a waterproof bag in his canoe.

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.
