what do you guys think of the richest man retiring from the Microsoft, do you think he has done a fantastic job for the world, introducing windows package, xbox, and various forms of technology,
gates has sais that he’ll be giving away million to charity through the Melinda and Bill gates foundation.

Laci Green will be hosting a 24 hour charity drive starting at noon on BlogTV June 26th. Previously, the planned charity was the Bill Gates Educational Foundation. However, today she found out the grantees that they are sponsoring right now are all private schools. We feel our contributions could be going to better causes.

So, I am asking the Yahoo Answers community, do you have any suggestions for charities? The standards I would like it to fulfill to be selected are:

-Goes toward a HEALTH/SCIENCE or EDUCATIONAL cause. (educational preferred!)
-History of progress
-Good financials…this means they donate 95%+ of the money we give them to the cause, and they aren’t in debt.

Every charity suggested will be investigated until we find a good one :]

thanks!

basically im writing up a project on Bill Gates and Microsoft, and part of it is on Criticisms of The charity he founded.
the sentence that i want to correct is about the fact that the charity gives money to ethnic minorities, ( egsomething like 1m to the United Negro College fund) but it doesnt give any to white/american people. how can i phrase that in a "politically correct" way without being patronising?
and im fairly sure its true as its on Wikipedia
and yes i am aware that im putting in a small sentence about a relatively small amount that goes to americans but it is quite controversial that so little goes to causicans dont you think?

Do you know or suspect they have media planning sessions with marketing think tanks to come up with campaigns to adopt a child, fund an orphenage, save the enivronment (Bono) and so many other bull scat public relations events to keep their profiles high. It is vital to their bargaining power (money,contracts) so why not? Are mostly all of these charitable angels driven by the same thing. Even male superstqrs. Woud Tom Cruise do such things? Even Bono, or is he just a fruitloop? Everybody is announcing their charitable foundations, even big sports stars. They just don’t do it in silence. Even Bill Gates and Warren Buffet seem to have a need to broadcast their donations to ever cycling feast-and-famine in Africa. They get overpopulated and begin starving again. World Hungar charaties kick in and they reverse the cycle. Been seeing those hungry children before tv - they can be found in old archieves of The National Geographic. Malthus explained all that long ago.
