Stories of prisoners fighting for Human Rights, Democracy and Good Governance.
02/07/2010
From Burma, Indonesia, China, Vietnam, Haiti and other places where human rights advocates have spent time in prison. The stories all are inspired by the day when Nelson Mandela was released from prison after 27 years, and the smile on his face, after years of repression and confinement.

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.
