Mexico, the U.S. and drug resistant tuberculosis (TB)

03/09/2013

About 150 million people cross the U.S. -Mexico border each year. This creates conditions for the spread of TB from Mexico to the U.S. Most of the cases in San Diego have a connection to Tijuana, Mexico. Mexico has about 10 times the rate of TB cases than the US., though much smaller than the problem in India, China and Eastern Europe.

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.
