Gates and Turner saving Africa?

LOGAN, Utah—After witnessing Ted Turner and Bill and Melinda Gates getting off a private jet together in Africa to meet with local African officials, I talked to them about their new philanthropic plans.

It is very odd for Bill and Ted to be working together, due to events in the past where there seems to be a competition on who can donate the best money. This time it’s a little different. Malik Ok, an African Mayor, told us that some of the plans Bill and Ted have are to work with the World Health Organization to educate the people of Africa on common sanitary. "I like the philosophy of educating the people, because what happens when the free clothes and food are gone? We are back to where we started." Malik told us. Turner and the Gates are going to work to actually teach the people how to get clothes, vaccines, shelters, etc.

Bill told us that his trip to Africa was successful and they are working on a plan. Hopefully this means they will be executing action soon.
