- We are all excited about beginning the fulfillment of our
commitment to the community
- Sharing what you have should be a priority when you're blessed.
- I hope it stimulates people to understand the importance of
education.
- I hope it stimulates those with the ability to donate to do
so.
- My gift will give financially challenged students access to
an education that will provide them the tools necessary to find
a good job.
- I feel my poverty had a lot to do with who I am.
- It has made me an achiever, it has made me brave and a giver.
- We need to induce in the younger generation the importance
of education.
I believe, if you're educated, you will not starve.......Dr.
