“Quote of the Day” –  Handwriting Practice

Bill Gates (1955 -)started the company Microsoft in 1975 and since then it has changed the way we all live and work. Unlike the rich people behind Amazon, Apple, Starbucks and may other big companies, Bill Gates tries to give something back to the world. In 2006, Bill Gates quit his job at Microsoft so that he could spend more time working with the charity, which he runs with his wife. Bill Gates and his wife Melinda have been working on trying to find a cure for malaria, a disease which kills thousands of people each day.

Today’s Question: What’s the name of Bill Gate’s charity? (Click on the photo to find the answer)

“I am not in competition with anyone but myself; my goal is to improve myself continuously.”
