We begin by paying our Mechanical Turk Workers from all around the globe in hopes of adding to the efforts of eliminating World Poverty.
In the long run, aiding in efforts for reaching Wold Peace by furthering Global Cultural Convergence on Wisdom and Good Ideas.
All via the safety and security afforded by this simple idea of Paying for Good Progress in School.
