    It all started when Adam Braun was a college student.He was visiting India when a boy stopped him and asked for money on the street,Mr.Braun asked the boy what he would want,if he could have anything in the world.
"I thought the answer was going to be‘a(chǎn) house' or‘a(chǎn) car' or‘a(chǎn) boat'.His answer was‘a(chǎn) pencil'.So I gave him my pencil and he was just happy and excited.I realized he never had been to school before,and that was the reality(現(xiàn)實(shí)) for 57 million children around the world."Braun said.
     Adam Braun started working in finance(金融) after he graduated from college,But he never forgot the boy and the problem he realized.
"We live in a world in which every child can have a chance to get a good education,because we have everything necessary already.We are able to educate every child.So I promised to help create that world."Braun said.
