The Billion Dollar Project® is an international
philanthropic undertaking to spread knowledge acquisition to the third world without cost to the recipients. This is
the only kind of donation the Project expects from its volunteer individuals and organizations.
Originally envisioned over 30 years ago, the Billion Dollar
Project® was designed by its creator and the organization that created the Academy as an outreach to overcome poverty, hunger, and ignorance in the world. It was, from its very
existance conceived as a global project that could harness the power of technology to spread rapid acquisition of
knowledge for those it was least available, anywhere in the world, even in the USA. With the thought that if the
Project could accomplish this, it could do wonders never imagined.
Unfortunately, the reality in
1977 was that a PC cost at least $10,000 and there was no Internet outside of Academia and the Government and the
World Wide Web for the general masses and high speed Internet were years away. The creator's hope was that
someday the dream would eventually bear fruit
Technology has caught up and coupled with today's World
Wide Web and Internet education and program development launching the project, it has been said, "... just kind
of ka-chinged into place.”
Thirty Years in the Making
The Academy, its resources and its associated professionals are dedicated to blotting out ignorance
as far and as wide as humanly possible.
There is an old saying,
popularized in modern times by Ralph Waldo Emerson but uttered first, it is said, by the ancient Chinese sage, Confucius
--- "Give a man a fish, he eats for a day, teach a man to fish, he eats for a lifetime." Human beings have
been trying for generations to find the key that fulfills this prophesy.
Many have known from the
dawn of Man that it is education and the acquisition of knowledge that is the key. Now, we have the technology and the tools
to deliver the means to cast off the shakles of ignorance anywhere and everywhere, anytime, night or day.
