Bill Gates to leave Microsoft for philanthropy mission

“With Bill Gates planning to leave Microsoft management to fully dedicate himself to his $29.1 billion foundation's work, America's philanthropic movement has its latest grand champion.

Characterized by intense engagement, innovative operations and emphasis on results, the style of philanthropy that Gates embodies stems from the nation's tech boom and is most prevalent in states like California and Washington.”

It is easy to be cynical but most people I meet are deeply impressed by all that Bill and Belinda Gates have been doing.
