LOGAN Utah-
Important Meeting in Africa
On Wednesday I witnessed Bill and Melinda Gates and also Ted Turner getting off a private jet in Africa to meet with local officials. The contents of the meeting are uncertain, but according to Bill Gates, "Myself and my wife along with Ted Turner and Warren Buffet are planning on working with the World Health Organization to educate African people in Health care." Warren Buffet has given the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation control of some of his money to be used how they want to help the Africans get educated, whereas Ted Turner is more involved as he wants to know how his money is being spent and what it is being used for.
This is something that the African countries have been needing and wanting for some time now. Malik Ok, an African Mayor had this to say about the idea of working with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, "Weve been given stuff before, clothes, medicines and other things, but the great thing about Bill and Melinda and Ted's proposition is that not only will they provide us with supplies, but that they will attemp to educate us about how to use these supplies as well. I really like this philosophy."
Bill Gates mentioned said, "There will be a press conference in a few weeks to talk about the details of this idea, but for now I can say the trip to Africa was very successful."
