I'm Glad To See That Bill Gates Has
Survived Intact
WGNNews.org Commentary By

The William (Bill) H. Gates Personal
Pages in Bill Gates website publicly lists his promotion of
good around the World, and information about him. Many
companies have hammered on him for a long time now. I'm glad
to see that he has survived intact. I for one, was
around when we had to pay for web browsers during Netscape
version 1.0 for 2.0 or somwhere in there, when Bill Gates
came along and gave us one. That may have been bad for
Netscape but We surfers did Ok, because we had a free web
Browser to Web Surf with. Even though I don't
see where Bill Gates has indicated he has given to the work
of God at anytime, I have stated in another document I
believe he would donate over One Billion to this ministry. I
guess maybe that will be something new for him.

Philanthropy is also important to
Gates. He and his wife, Melinda, have endowed a foundation
with more than $24 billion to support philanthropic
initiatives in the areas of global health and learning, with
the hope that as we move into the 21st century, advances in
these critical areas will be available for all people. To
date, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has committed
more than $2.5 billion to organizations working in global
health; more than $1.4 billion to improve learning
opportunities, including the Gates Library Initiative to
bring computers, Internet Access and training to public
libraries in low-income communities in the United States and
Canada; more than $260 million to community projects in the
Pacific Northwest; and more than $381 million to special
projects and annual giving campaigns.
