One of the most compelling arguments for encouraging the education of girls, particularly in developing countries, is this: Education enables jobs, jobs are a source of economic growth, and economic growth is a key to development and stability.

With broadband access, we can revolutionize global access to education, health care, economic empowerment, and the delivery of critical human needs.

A good script is like a work of art in itself. I've read hundreds of scripts, and good ones are very rare.
