I visited your web site but it looked to me like there were fees involved. I mean they were very reasonable but they were still there. I am not sure it is wise to advertise fee-free when it is not absolutely free. I admire your effort and it is very true that in some countries the children have no money for college. Now my way of looking at it would be to charge a little more from people who can afford to pay in order to subsidize the others.
Love & Peace, Deborah -

"The depth of your observations from last night is still resonating with me. I'm trying to think of another interview I've given where the questioner understood the material so well that he/she so regularly (and fluidly) went into new intellectual territory. I can't think of any. Pretty amazing. Thank you."
