On Microsoft, meaning, and the drive to help educate children across the developing world.
Comment: I started a non-profit organization called FACE Africa in January 2008 that identifies innovative non-profit programs around the world and helps replicate them in communties in Africa with the same critical need. Room to Read is one such organization that we hope to bring into West Africa. I attended John Wood's keynote speech at the Millennium Campus Conference (MIT) a few weeks ago and was so inspired by his work and vision.
Comment: John Wood was the keynote speaker at the recent Public Library Association Convention in Minneapolis. He was inspiring and funny, a great speaker from the heart and motivated by a passion to change the world by engaging people and their needs on a local level. 10,000 librarians were turned on by his message, his goals and his sense of mission. I'd love to have a new career with his organization when I retire. Check out "roomtoread.org" and get inspired.

I hope to work for him after I retire.
