The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation said on Wednesday it was giving $500 million to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria, by far its biggest grant to the fund, which says it sorely lacks cash. ��� ����� ��� �������� ���� ���� ��� �������� ��� �� ��� 500 ����� ����� ��� ������� ������� ������� ������ ����� ��������� � ��� �� ���� ���� ���� ���� ������� � ���� ���� ���� ����� ��� ���� ��� �����.

The money, to be given over five years, is the largest private donation to the fund, founded nearly five years ago to serve as the primary financing vehicle for efforts to fight the HIV pandemic, tuberculosis and malaria. ����� � ��� �� ���� ��� ��� ��� ����� � �� ���� ��� ���� ��� ������� � ���� ��� ��� ��� ����� ������ ����� ������ ����� ������ ������� �� ������ �������� ������� ���� ��� ������� ������� ����� ���������.

The Geneva-based fund, administered independently, was responsible for about a fifth of all international funding for programs to fight HIV in 2005. �� ���� ���� ��� ������� � ����� ���� ����� � ���� ������ �� ����� ��� ���� ������� ������ ������� ������� ����� ��� ������� ������� �� ��� 2005.

This included HIV drugs for 544,000 people, more than 1.4 million people treated for TB and more than 11 million bed nets distributed to protect children from malaria. ���� ��� ����� ��� ������� ������� �������� �544000 ���� � �� ���� �� 1�4 ����� ��� ������� ���� ������ ���� �� 11 ����� ����� ���������� ������ ������� �� ��������. via �� ����

Now finally we are seeing true colors of Bill Gates and I have to admit I like what I see. Can open-source-anti-capitalist-Richard-Stallman and his cohorts ever hope to match such humanitarian efforts? ������ ���� ���� ���� ���� ����� ���� ���� �� �� �� �� ����� ���� ��� �� ���. �������� ������ ���� �� ������ ��������� - - - ������� ������� �� ������� �� �� ��� ��� ����� �� ������ ��� ��� ������ ���������
