I'm sure you've already heard of Oprah's most recent philanthropy - a new $40 million leadership academy for girls in South Africa. More than enough has already been said, but I had to drop a comment or two. Many rich people have given in the past and continue to do so, but in my opinion all that has been a ripple in the water compared this. The indirect impact of this action cannot even be fathomed at this point. What surprises me is the fact that there are always critics out there who want to nitpick about anything - for instance, some ask why she's doing this in South Africa and not in US inner cities. My response to them is 'Get your own damn money and do with it as you please'.
I'm really curious to find out what drives Oprah. She continues to amaze us all with her deeds.
