It seems that Oprah has joined Dikembe Mutombo by putting money into building African institutions. I've got my issues with Oprah and those issues still stand but I'm going to give credit where it is due. Today was the official opening of Oprah's The Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy :
The academy selects girls whose family income is less than $700 a month.
The Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy will eventually cater for 450 girls who show outstanding promise but whose families cannot support their education...
The school incorporates 28 buildings, across a 20 hectare (50 acre) site, with hi-tech classrooms, computers and science laboratories.
