Finally, some good news.
ROME, FEB. 16, 2006 (Zenit.org).- The Community of Sant’Egidio announced that it received a personal donation from Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft, for its program for AIDS prevention in Africa.

A communiqué issued in Rome by this lay public association of the Catholic Church said the donation is for $200,000 a year for three years.

The funds will be used to finance the Drug Resource Enhancement against AIDS and Malnutrition program, launched in 2002. DREAM provides services in Mozambique, Malawi, Tanzania and Kenya, and which is being extended to other African countries.

“I first heard about the Community of Sant’Egidio’s humanitarian work during my business travels,” said Gates. “After learning more about the community’s DREAM project, I wanted to make a personal donation to further support and encourage this important work.”

Sorry, WanderAimlessly, I had checked today’s posts and yesterday’s to see if the story had already been posted but neglected to double check the other forums. Who said, “More things are wrought in this life through prayer than we can imagine”?I agree, this is a hopeful sign; Bill Gates is trying to do the right thing. We can only continue praying the Holy Spirit will gently guide him to use his gifts wisely. Anyway, :tiphat: to Bill.
