Thanks Amara.
Thinking from countries to organizations, I've been wondering the past
months how ExI can produce philanthropic aid to underdeveloped
regions. While we are not rich by monetary measures, we are rich in ideas
about the future and do have first hand experience in dealing with the
challenges of change.
One way that I think we can do this is by helping the learning centers and
schools in poor areas. Once our critical thinking online course is
developed and other reading sources, we could donate thousands of easy to
print books to the schools.
