{{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. |

Thank you for providing, and for keeping on keepin on while others have tried to make education and learning a way to cash in.}} |

{{cquote|I come from the island of Cuba where access to the Internet is very limited, almost impossible. I never had full Internet access while living over there. In 2001 I moved to the USA where I currently live with my beautiful family. One of the first things that I discovered in my new life was the power of the Internet. I came to understand that power the day I discovered Wikipedia. I can't even tell you how much I have learned by clicking on the endless Wikipedia doors to knowledge. Whenever I need to explore a subject the first step is see what wikipedia says about that subject. I hope that Wikipedia keeps being alive and free forever. That's why I made a modest donation. If I could I would donate a whole million to it. Thank you Wikipedia!}} |
