So this is one story. Another story, which is actually, you know, it goes to a different direction, but it's very important. I met one of our students who started studying also.

So this is one story. Another story, which is actually, you know, it goes to a different direction, but it's very important. I met one of our students who started studying also.

He grew up in a family who came from Mexico, and he grew up in a poor neighborhood, and he couldn't afford going to college until he found us, started studying computer science with us, and after nine months got a job with IBM while studying with us. And again, you know, these are people that we help even if they don't complete the degree. So we have hundreds of thousands of stories like this.

We have graduated to work with Amazon and Google and IBM and Microsoft and JP Morgan and World Bank. Most of our students actually work while studying with us, the population. A lot of them are working adults. But 70% of them say that they got promotion while studying with us. So we are really giving them a better future. And it is important.

When you help someone to get a better job and a better future, you don't help them, their families, their communities. And if it's a lot of them, it's their countries. And if many of them, it's the world.

It's interesting because I think that if I've started... nonprofit earlier, I could have done more. However, the fact that I came there when I can afford doing that and I'm not depending on a salary or anyone to let me do that is a great benefit. So from that perspective, you know, I feel that maybe I could have done more. But on the other hand, I'm very happy that I started it where I started.

I feel that the world should appreciate philanthropy in general more. I hope the world would have been more philanthropic. I think that I would love more people to go into NGOs because the world needs NGOs. I think that I myself, I wish that I would be able to contribute to the realization how online is powerful. So more people will take the opportunity for their own benefit, obviously.

But I'm very happy with where I am and I would just wish to continue doing what I do.
