Will I watched oprah and I cried, what a special human being you have to be to do something like that.  You made those four boys so happy and may god bless you for doing that.

I thank god I live my life whatever happens...love you will.i.am

Gees William, you are making me cry all over again.  First with MJ, and now seeing what a beautiful person you are....and you know this is going to reach so much further than the four you are sending to college, and already has. Inspiration can reach out infinately and doesn't take money..it's priceless. I have this dream that I know I have to work towards. Every time I have quiet time to think and pray, the idea comes up, so I know I have to do it. Every story like this shows me how important it is not to forget about that dream. It will fill a need in a different way. I just have to work out the details and make sure it really is a good idea and could really work... and financing, but if it's a good enough idea, that shouldn't be a problem.

Wow it is just so nice to have someone catch your attention and find out such wonderful things about them. Your mom really did raise you right. I hope my kids will feel the same way about me when they are grown up. It really is hard. I have four kids. Was married but not now. I'm doing it on my own but I wish I wasn't. I really feel my kids are missing out by not having a father figure. I worry they aren't getting discipline like they probably should.. I worry that they won't get opportunities that they should. I guess sometimes it just takes time and determination. We know there are so many others out there who are in worse positions than we are.

Sorry.. I got opening up and just shared way too much on a public website..lol. Aw well... emotions can do that to a person.

I don't even know what to write anymore, I am so impressed. I LOVE being pleasantly surprised by a person.

BTW to everyone out there, we can ALL make a difference no matter what our circumstances. Even if we have to start with our own families. As long as we continue to reach out towards others to make a possitive difference, even with a smile, this world will be better because of it.

Will.i.am.....wow

thanks for will

he's doing the right thing i'm sure

Wow.....If only......To change the world.........There is a job for all of us to share....we all need to do something.......to keep busy and happy....we can  all teach each other.....

So we need to help the YOUTH.....(money)  ..and EDUCATE the OLDER people..( Who might have the money )           there are plenty of them out there......  HOW?????????

WILL  I   Am   Here on this planet with everyone else......If I had the money to GIve I would... I just bought myself a $200 pa system so I can hear myself good.......and I still have my classic guitar I bought for $300        22 years ago.........and I got lots bubbling in my head......only the future Will tell..... Luv Karen

That is some hot ish Will-

Man Im inspired! Well done sir

Dear Will,

I am a Brazilian-American currently living here in Brazil and I am moved by your awesome act of generosity, which I just saw on the Oprah Show. I am a fan of your group BEP, also a fan of your creativity and courage; now, another fan of your foundation. I know how hard it is to have a dream and feel like it will only be a dream. I am fortunate to have had a great college education and even with that it seems that here where I am living, you constantly have to struggle to prove your self and be persistent to try to get a chance. I want to help out on this cause. At the moment, I unable to donate funds because as a single mother, I am kind of struggling to get my life back on track after some turmoil. Yet I have other skill sets that may be used as I wish to contribute with this idea through my work. I speak 5 languages and my academic and professional background is quite broad.

I pray to have motivation and strength to raise my son and provide a dignified life. He will face his share of prejudice and emotional insecurities, being a “mulato” and “fatherless” in this society. I want to make sure I set out good examples for him to follow and be worthy as well. That is one of the reasons I want to be engaged in your project. 

If there is anything else I can do, other than give money, I hope you can find useful and productive some of my abilities and talents. You may contact me back via email at flaviaral@hotmail.com or skype flavia.r.a.lima and I can send my resume/biography to find out a way where my qualifications can fit to assist your organization.

I hope to hear from you and be able to participate in your endeavor for a better world.

Best regards, with great admiration and respect,

Here I remain,

Flavia R. Andrade Lima

You are definitely truly amazing. The impact of this gesture will grow exponentially beyond just those four strangers. If only there were more people like you in this world...............

Into each life a little sun must shine.

Your mama raised a boy who became a man with a heart and passion for what he does. There is a magic in that that needs to be held on to as long as possible.  I smile as I read your blog cuz I know you will.
