{{cquote|I'm a physics student from Buenos Aires, Argentina, and I've been using Wikipedia for some years now. Wikipedia is one of the few things that from time to time makes me think "Wow, this internet thing is REALLY something". We are so used to it right now that we never stop for a second to think about it. I had these same feeling once, when watching on line the first pictures of mars taken by the recently landed Phoenix spacecraft only minutes ago: "I'm watching now a picture taken minutes ago on the surface of another planet, by a human made spacecraft". Wikipedia (and the rest of the foundation proyects) have become and essential and inextricable part of the internet as we know it, and enjoy. I just cannot be thankful enough of your work.}} |

{{cquote|Its not really my story, but my husbands family's story. They are rfom Northern Iraq, to them its known as Kurdistan. It isnt what you wuold think when you think of a middle eastern part of the world. They believe in education, and believe in women having education. Education is freedom and freedom is education. Women are stronger, having a higher self esteem, and have the chance to take care of themselves if they are educated. |
