Unscramble the Blue Letters

I'll tell you a little bit about our team because it's indicative of what we do. We have about 500 people around the world working in our AIDS praogrm, some of them for nothing — just for trarstaotnipon, room and board. And then we have others working in these other related programs. Our business plan in Rwanda was put together under the ldihaseerp of Diana nbole, who is an unusually gifted woman, but not unusual in the type of people who have been willing to do this kind of work. She was the yogsunet partner at Schroder Ventures in London in her 20s. She was CEO of a successful e-venture — she started and built Reed eveleisr vtenrues — and at 45 she decided she wanted to do something different with her life. So she now works full-time on this for very little pay. She and her team of former business people have created a bessnius plan that will enable us to scale this health system up for the whole cruotny. And it would be worthy of the kind of private equity work she used to do when she was making a lot more menoy for it.

Original Text

I'll tell you a little bit about our team because it's indicative of what we do. We have about 500 people around the world working in our AIDS program, some of them for nothing — just for transportation, room and board. And then we have others working in these other related programs. Our business plan in Rwanda was put together under the leadership of Diana Noble, who is an unusually gifted woman, but not unusual in the type of people who have been willing to do this kind of work. She was the youngest partner at Schroder Ventures in London in her 20s. She was CEO of a successful e-venture — she started and built Reed Elsevier Ventures — and at 45 she decided she wanted to do something different with her life. So she now works full-time on this for very little pay. She and her team of former business people have created a business plan that will enable us to scale this health system up for the whole country. And it would be worthy of the kind of private equity work she used to do when she was making a lot more money for it.
