Bill gates dreams of a pc in every home.
Tony Blair wants every Brit to be on the web within five years. But for those in the slums of Brazil's infamous favelas, home to millions of the country's forgotten underclass, that situation is a reality. It is a reality that's changing, though, thanks to a groundbreaking charity that has received the thumbs-up from Bill Gates himself. Information technology schools in the heart of the slums are now helping students, disenfranchised by poverty and cultural stigma, to access more than just the web. Almost five years on, Baggio has spoken in the White House, negotiated multi-million pound software donations with Microsoft and is dubbed the Bill Gates of the favelas by Brazilian media.
