Hi everyone, our topic today is about Bill Gates, one of the richest guy on the world. However, we are not going to talk about his company which is Microsoft or 5000 lab rooms, we will talk about his motivation about the work of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and how he's working on philanthropy. All of those issue are mentioned in his annual letter which is about what he's doing or will do since he left Microsoft. In the letter, he also mention about how would he spend his money for AIDS research to get a successful results. In the end , he doesn't seem very worry about Microsoft after the financial crisis, probably because he has some faiths with his companions.

I didn't know that Bill has a donation for AIDS. I didn't understand what exactly he does for it and what the money used for except about vaccine. I will google about it more. By the way, what is pink slip?
Hi Andy:
I have heard that Bill Gates has talked to Warren Buffet before.But I didn't know Bill Gates got the idea of setting up the Bill and Melinda foundation from Mr. Buffet.I feel good to know the rich people want to use their wealth to remove serious health problems from the world.
Namely, AIDS, and Polio. Megumi, I guess 'pink slip' means someone got notice of loosing the job.
george389 is correct about the "pink slip" - it means that someone is getting notice for losing their job.
