Turner to join the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation
LOGAN, Utah-
Ted Turner was seen exiting a private jet with Bill and Melinda Gates on Wednesday. The trio was on their way to meet with an African Mayor, Malik Ok. The Bill and Melinda Gates foundation has joined its forces with Ted Turner and Warren Buffett. Turner is more actively involved than Buffett. Bill Gates commented on the new addition to his team, “it’s more efficient for him (Ted) to work with us.”
The foundation is working with the World Health Organization to teach African’s basic and complex health information in an effort to put an end to the disease that is so prevalent. This education will range from simple sanitation concepts to knowledge about small pox, measles, and AIDS/HIV. The goal of the foundation is to not only provide the tools and supplies necessary to improve their quality of life but to also give them the education and skills needed to succeed without the constant aid from America. Malik Ok said, “There is a lot of disease everywhere. I like their philosophy of educating and providing the supplies.”
Bill Gates said that they are working where they can do the most good. There will be more details released on their plans at a later press conference.

hey i liked your writing a lot. Good job on using quotes! This was kind of tricky to put together but yours came together nicely!
I agree with Megan, I liked the quote you used. The beginning was a bit confusing for me. I think you were trying to get details in there and it just chopped the flow up a little. Regardless, you did awesome.
