NO AMOUNT OF MONEY CAN CHANGE OUR MISSION
Jimmy Wales could have been a billionaire. Few people in history have had so certain a shot at that status and decided against taking it. But Wales had another target in sight and he took the shot, with a fair amount of accuracy. Wikipedia, which he co-founded 25 years ago, is one of the most visited websites in the world, with millions of people relying on it as a primary source of information. And he remains steadfast to its mission—to provide free, accurate knowledge to anyone, anywhere.

Obesity, and such health risks—once associated mainly with adulthood—are now appearing with alarming frequency among children and young adults. Over the past decade, the Apollo Shine Foundation screened more than one lakh college students. It revealed that six in 10 had an abnormal BMI (body mass index), and three in 10 were already obese. Even at an age when health and vitality should be their greatest strength, some were found with high blood sugar and early signs of chronic disease.
