A $10 billion gift from the Gates Foundation
So what should all of us say when the foundation run by one of the world’s wealthiest people decides to give $10 billion over the next decade to develop vaccines for people worldwide?
How about, “That’s pretty thoughtful.”
Bill and Melinda Gates, co-chairs of the foundation that bears their name, made their announcement on Friday at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland.
I’ve grown accustom to some people – not all – bellyaching or griping about whatever they have: “It’s not enough. Is this all you have? You should do it this way.”
In the hubbub of huffing and puffing, I think we overlook appreciating what we do have.
