U.S. military families and the sacrifices in two wars in Iraq and Afghanistan
03/02/2011
A sense that the sacrifice in lives and hardships of U.S. soldiers are known only to a handful of people, as the nation goes about its business and the wars drag on. His loss is the loss of 5500 families who lost sons in the wars says Lt. Gen John Kelly. Young veterans 20-24 face the added hurdle of a 30% unemployment rate as they return.

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.
