PROPOSAL TO THE SKOLL WORLD FORUM ON
      SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP
QUOTE DU JOUR

      If we are to lift Africa from
       her current circumstances,
      we will need a generation of
        learners that are gifted
        with curiosity about the
        world in which they live,
            and the tools to
       understand and shape the
                 world.

         - Mark Shuttleworth
