{{cquote|We are a family that live in the interior of Brazil in a very poor state. We have opened a learning center and work with local children from nearby villages. Wikipedia is INVALUABLE for this work. The knowledge available to them on Wikipedia is a thread of contact with the 'outside world' and empowers them! }} |

{{cquote|Forty years ago as a schoolkid I had to catch a bus and use the reference materials at Gosford Library if I wanted to do research for school. Our local library at Woy Woy NSW didn't have reference materials nor anywhere to sit. If you family didn't own an encyclopedia (Britannica preferred) this was what you had to do for your schoolwork. Having Wikipedia on the home PC is an incredible experience considering my schooldays. }} |
