The usually-solo Ted Turner is now working with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, they were spotted getting off a private jet on Wednesday to meet with a local African Mayor, Malik Ok. The foundation is working with the World Health Organization to educate Africans on common sanitary knowledge and advanced medical care to help put an end to measles, small pox, HIV, AIDS, and other prevalent diseases. Malik Ok said, “There is a lot of disease everywhere. I like their philosophy of educating and providing the supplies.”

Hey I liked your story a lot, it was well written well. It was short and sweet, but it covered all the main points we didnt have much time to write this one either. In the first sentence you used the word together twice and it sounded a little weird. But no worries, it was still very well written and flowed well. Good Job
