From being the first to engage in his dream realized in cardboard, to shining a bright light on one boys adventure, to inspiring so many to donate to Caine's education (and now the education of others like him). You shared a moving story in a beautiful way, and I hope you feel like Caine in my favorite moment at the end: “... and I was proud.” Hi Nirvan, we’re all inspired by Caine’s creativity, desire, and commitment, and I want to thank you for your own sense of play and wonder.

Big thanks to Mark & BoingBoing for being the first to share this. We're thrilled that the Goldhirsh Foundation has stepped up to allow this to grow. It's pretty unprecedented for Foundation to move so quickly in such a big way. Let's dare to dream big and do good. It’s actually only been 8 days since Mark blogged it.

It's a start, I guess... Actually, considering the ROI, it seems even avarice can't do the job when that return is over the horizon. *sigh* Now we just need to pay for every other kid’s education.
