There Is Love In The World. Huge Donation Made To Medical College

The widow of David "Sandy" Gottesman as part of a wealthy couple in New York recently donated one billion dollars to the Einstein Medical College where she has been a chairwoman on the board for 55 years. Her righteous act shocked the global education community and fully proved that our society is full of love. 

At the donation ceremony, Ruth Gottesman thanked her late husband for letting her manage their fund which made it possible to donate this gift to this meaningful cause. On the same day, the teachers and students were overjoyed. 

According to statistics of national medical schools in 2023, at least  84% of students in medical schools have loans averaging $200,000. The annual tuition is about $60,000 and adding living expenses, the cost to the students is about $100,000 per year. In other words, they will be exempted from payments in the future because of the Gottesman's gift. 

This billon dollar donation also is the best social textbook for everyone. Many of us should learn how to give back freely to our society. We all need to lend a helping hand to the poor and bring more warmth and harmony to our society.
