Everybody agrees that whatever the solutions are to the big problems, they… can never be without some element of education. – Nicholas Negroponte
Even in the developing parts of the world, kids take to computers like fish to water. – Nicholas Negroponte
Giving women education, work, the ability to control their own income, inherit and own property, benefits the society. If a woman is empowered, her children and her family will be better off. If families prosper, the village prospers, and eventually so does the whole country. – Isabel Allende
